[comp.sys.next] Modem/NeXT/Software?

Ok, im a bit confused here.....I read that there is a Motorola chip in
the NeXT that can act as the brains of a 9600bps modem.  Does this mean
that all that is necessary is a phone line?  If not, it becomes 
appartent that software is going to be needed in order to run the modem,
now, how will we run that software if it does not exist, and must be
in laserdisc format in order to be used?  I doubt that software manufacturers
are going to sell their stuff on 256 megabyte disks...

Or, does the NeXT have a 3.5 disk?  5.25?
