To Seth et al:
Ronald is right on!!
When we take Net-Tamer 1.08XT on the PoqetPC (circa 1988 - first fully
DOS compatible hand held) on our trips we always drag along the external
modem. Sure it is much heavier, however, it is the only way to work with
the (funky doodle) telephone systems in Europe as well as the phones in
the less expensive rest stops in North America we tend to stay at.
The so-called Win-modem internal hardware is just too much of a pain in
the OS to deal with. For the few percentage points in price savings you
will loose many hours of frustration. The Win-modem is what I call "a
don't bother" product.
