I guess it has been so long since I had to use a modem myself that I completely forgot about that option. That is an excellent idea. Thanks. Almost certainly the computer has a serial port. I will have to contact the relatives in Peru to confirm that. I cannot remember that there was any AT-command compatible modem that did not work with Linux. I vaguely remember fighting with various obscure command strings and having trouble with some brands of modems not connecting well but that was a long time ago. I do remember back then I chose the US Robotics modem for the old 486 because it was going to Peru and I didn't want to have to try to deal with that on a long distance phone call. these. Always used external ones, where you can see the LEDs and conclude what they are doing. Forgot about that advantage. It is settled, I will look for an external.
