A memory is coupled to a processor in the computer system to implement a modem with simultaneous voice and data capabilities. The modem comprises a communication port to couple the computer system to a phone line, and software in the memory. The memory comprises a first software component which, when executed on the processor, provides a data input to the physical communication port, and a second software component which, when executed on the processor, provides a voice input to the physical communication port. The first and second software components cooperate to enable simultaneous voice and data communication through the physical communication port.
