Purpose of a PC card (5)

I believe the answer is:

modem

(Other definitions for modem that I've seen before include "Data to sound converter" , "(Wireless) communication device" , "Phone-to-computer connector" , "Computer interface" , "Online connection device" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
