Hi Vern!

   Been there, Done that...

   I'm a true believer in ISA "TRUE" hardmodems for ANY system. The best deal I've seen lately (and I always keep an eye out for the upgrades I do) is here:

   And its a US Robotics! Its a bulk (OEM) unit so you'll need to download manual/driver for here:

   Dig up a phone cord and your good-to-go!

Hope this helps...
