What I'm looking at for a motherboard is the Asus A7V with the Via KT133
chipset. The board has ATA100/66/33 support and AGP Pro 4x support.
Unfortunately it has no ISA slots, but 5 PCI slots. It supports up to 1
GHz AMD Thunderbird in Socket A and up to 7 USB ports. I've already got
serial devices that would use up any serial ports, so an external serial
modem would remove one of these devices. Forgot to mention that. So that
is why the interest in the USB modem. As a side note, anybody using a USB
Zip drive? I'm out of IDE channels (yes I know there is always SCSI or
parallel port). Has anybody found a PCI modem that isn't a winmodem?
