That's a tough question. Almost all internal modems these days are
winmodems, and most recommend 200+ MHz CPUs. For a P60 I would certainly
recommend a hardware 56k modem, you will have the fewest problems with it
(actually I recommend a hardware modem for any system, I have seen too many
problems pinned down to a winmodem's drivers). Most hardware internals are
ISA, I have heard of a few PCI models but not many. I hope this helped. TTYL
