Almost any NON-HFC/WINMODEM will do you well. External is
great, as then you KNOW it's not a "winmodem." Supra makes
a pretty nice 56k modem (SupraExpress 56i is what I have,
and it doesn't require any "extra" software to use it,
unlike the SupraMax 56i.)
Best rule of thumb: if it's a PCI modem, forget it. :-)
