 Oh I agree on that, I wasn't recommending a USB modem, I was just
recommending why an external is often a better choice. For now though, for
the best of every world I always recommend a "real" (hardware) external
modem, sure it costs more but if you want the best. Of course I myself being
a little more budget minded got myself an internal, but it is a USR so at
least I have that. TTYL
