All those really are is a telephone line -> sound card interfaces. Typically these just handle converting the signals from the sound card in to the phone line signals. It is linked directly to the audio bus's modem processing functions, and to my knowledge are not interchangeable with different ones- since part of the modem processing is hard coded in to the sound chipset, changing that board (unless to an identical model) may simply not work or could have disastrous consequences. Mini-PCI cards actually have an edge connector on them, just like full-sized PCI cards. (albeit smaller). Hope this helps, Bjorn.
