I will try to find my Xircom parallel port Modem and Ethernet adapters in a box somewhere
in my storage area and take a photo of them. If I can find them, I’ll post a link here to
the photos so those in disbelief can see them.
I was initially skeptical that Xircom made a parallel port modem.
Apparently they actually did, at least a combo Ethernet+Modem. Don't
know if they also made a modem only version.

Welcome to a new level of connectivity convenience. Xircom's Pocket
Ethernet+Modem provides PE3 equivalent Ethernet LAN adapter functionality
for DOS and Windows combined with a fully featured V.32bis modem. The PEM is
available in two models, the PEM-10BT(for the 10BASE-T twisted pair with RJ-45
connector) and the PEM-10B2(for the 10BASE-2 thin Coax with BNC connector).
