Nice story. That's the modem I want :-)
No, you want one that works without a driver. Like USR Sportster internal and
such. But an external modem is always better ime.
How many of those passed through my hands and into the junkyard fifteen or so
years ago....I should have hung on to one. It never occurred to me that I'd
ever need to go back to analog modems. My parents are the only ones I know
still on dialup, now that we finally convinced my in-laws to go DSL.
Perhaps I should try wireless and see if anyone in their block has an open AP
:-) (No, I wouldn't really do this)
I will keep my eyes open for the USR Sportster internal. Available in PCI I
hope and not just ISA?
Thanks for the tip,
Michael
