re: modem internal or external

[Jude DaShiell]

Always external otherwise it's time to buy a new computer after the next 
lightning hit.  Internal modems allow lightning inside computers. 
External modems have a little wire and that can get hit and taken out and 
give you a chance that lightning stops with modem and doesn't go inside 
computer.  Internal modems give you no chance that will not happen.  I've 
been told putting a basic bite knot into wiring breaks the straight path 
lightning will need and can act to disrupt lightning as well.  I would 
have this tested before betting my computer on it first though.  I've 
found both boca and U.S.R. both far superior to zoom and those are the 
three external modem brands I've tried so that's the extent of my wisdom 
on modem brands and models.  So far as the internal modem versus external 
modem is concerned I've been there; done that, and the T-shirt I got cost 
me $1,000.00 a few years back.
