I recommend external serial modems as preferable to any internal
modem (as long as you have a serial port to spare). It's not always
easy to tell which internal modems are "real" modems and which are
these "worthless LOSEmodems".
Avoid external USB modems, some apparently work, many apparently don't. I
don't have a clue how to find out which is which short of buying one.
I'm using a MultiTECH external MT5600BA modem. This one is V90, I think
they may have a V92 replacement for it. But this particular model is
an industrial-strength modem, built into a steel housing (no plastic for
this puppy) with a LCD display and pushbuttons for programming it
directly from the front panel if you wish. I'm using it on a phone
line that caused lots of trouble for my external Diamond 56k modem,
but this one works like a charm on it.
I suggest you find a few good modems you'd find acceptable then check
out EBAY. This particular modem was purchased new on ebay for $40 bucks
(US), instead of the $400 or so in a store. Sealed package with all the
goodies it should have.
