I prefer externals. If you have a free serial port, it seems that they
are easier to set up. Some times with an internal, getting the IRQ's and I/O
ports configured without conflicting with the on-board stuff is a bit of a
hassle. You don't have to crack the case either. They are easily portable
from computer to computer. Works fine with bellsouth.net (my other ISP).
But it's really 'cause I can see the lights flash.
BTW mine is a 56K Zoom external. I've used it with 95/98/NT Workstation and
3 different linux distributions (Slack/Caldera/Suse) and the home-grown
2.3.99+ development partition.

First off, I'd really like to thank everyone who has emailed me concerning the modem. I really appreciate it.
Just about all of the suggestions have been for external modems....is there a reason for the preference, or could I look for an internal version of these brands?
Thanks to all, Lynda
