That's normal, external modems never show. I think that's because externals
are attached to the serial port, and there's no detection of serial devices
via the ports, at least not until they are initialized. Its NOT something to
lose sleep over.
Can't help with the vid acceleration--don't play games so haven't had the
need to mess with it.
