Being a careful and intelligent shopper can find you an *internal* modem that works just fine. I would stick to USR/3Com myself too. I've got one myself, internal, that works just fine. > Most new modems for sale now at minimum will support v.90... > As far as I know the enhancments to v.92 are not exactly > available for linux (correct me if im wrong). I no longer stay up on analog modem 'terms', but I believe one feature of v.92 is 'up to 56k' in both directions. With v.90, it's was 'up to 56k' on downloads only and limited to 33.6k in the upload direction. I *think* they've gotten around that 53k FCC limit also (you'd always see it in fine print regarding the 'true' speed). Hall
