It seems this 'new to me' (essentially new) computer I bought a few 
months ago won't connect to the Internet -- at all!  Since the only 
connection I have is via dial-up, I tracked the problem down to the lack 
of a telephone modem in the machine.  It's an(other) eMachines, running 
Windows Vista; I have only had it booted up twice.

Now my question:  do those 'accelerated' phone modems really work for a 
bit higher-speed connection?  (Best I can get out of my old one is 52 K. 
-- please don't scream!  LOL)  I have my choice of installing a Best 
Data 56K V.92/V.44 Windows Internal Modem -- or a Diamond SupraMax LE 
56K PCI Fax Modem which claims 'faster Internet Connections.'  Both are 
new in box, never opened. Whichever one I install, I can begin using the 
newer computer and 'retire' this one (my same old eMachines, Windows XP 
SP3) to recipes and whatnot.  Thanks in advance for any help here.
