Hi Folks: I'm about to replace my old 56K winmodem. I have 3 PCI slots and
one PCI/ISA slot free and 2 serial ports.

What are the pros and cons of external versus internal modem in terms of
speed, reliability, and durability?

I have a PIII 500, with 256 RAM, and 21GB HD dual booting WINME and Linux
(Mandrake 8.0).  I know external are all Linux friendly, as are some PCI and
mist ISA modems.

TIA
