Oh yeah, at some point somebody realized that sound cards and modems deal with very similar signals - same frequency range, etc., so it would be profitable to integrate them into one device.
And that was one of the reasons behind the Audio Modem Riser.
But that idea wasn't very successful - there was that Phone Blaster, there was some IBM Mwave stuff, and that's probably all.
Looking at the box of the PhoneBlaster, it appears to be ISA, not AMR.
Do soundcard AMR (Audio Modem Riser) cards actually exist? I've never seen one. All of them seem to be modems.
