the hardware will be the fifo buffers on winmodems and both fifo and data
pumps on hsp ( host signal processing ) modems such as zoltrix winhsp and
any other pc-tel chip based ones ...
A single unique choice you cant go wrong with is a usr sportster fax
external (33.6)
i heard of various stories on x2/v90 ones ...
also fact is any external modem must have a fifo and a data pump since it
cannot be emulated on the host cpu throug the com port and fifo buffers on
your com port, therefore getting an external modem is pretty safe choice ...
( i know i know ...it is more cabling boxes wires and all that in the house)
