Learn to quote properly or the quote police will run you in... if you have access to amazon and are in the USofA: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00006BBV3/qid=1070323146/sr=1-18/ref=sr_1_18/103-0914598-7923827?v=glance&s=electronics They are more expensive because it has a controller chip. The WinModems use software to do the work of the controller chip so they practically give those away. I have never had a problem with an USR, but most of mine have been external. I would recommend a controller based modem, even if it costs more. Best Data also has them (cheaper): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000069E1S/qid=1070323616/sr=1-12/ref=sr_1_12/103-0914598-7923827?v=glance&s=electronics amazon has free shipping stateside for most stuff over a certain dollar amount. I sound like a damn amazon ad... If you want to use a controller-less modem: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux/ http://walbran.org/sean/linux/linmodem-howto.html http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html I found these at www.google.com/linux, always a good place to start. The last link has a lot of good info. If you use one of the software based modems, you can save a lot, I pick them up when they go on sale for $9.99 with a $10 rebate, and put them in the rebuilds I do. (I put together what I call "granny pc's" so folks can talk their parents and the other luddites I know into getting with the program for less then $200.) The modems are usually a pctel chipset, for some reason.
