VERY short list. Global Village made the Mercury (which is what is installed), a 19.2 modem. Most ISPs no longer support 19.2 (got a Merc at home in the old 2300, it WILL connect at 19.2 to AOHell, believe it or not!!) and most allow 14.4 connects. DO NOT USE THEIR FAX SOFTWARE. Makes AOL look innocent in that the fax software causes major slowdowns...at least the version which came with my Merc. You can go with an external modem...I've run a 56K off my 2300 & 280.
