Thought that I would mention this really quickly. http://pricewatch.com and search for external 56k modem and you will find a list of places that are currently selling a cendyne external serial modem for around $17 US. Granted, that is not a top of the line modem, but it uses an equivalent chipset to a Zoom external serial modem version that costs about $60. If you currently have a winmodem (crapmodem) and have always wanted to have a real honest to goodness external serial modem but are financially challenged, you might want to consider it. I know it is kind of OT but the last time I was in a computer store, they didn't even carry external serial modems, just the USB ones, and even those were priced fairly high. $17 is just a tad higher than you would normally pay for a cheapo winmodem so I thought some others on the list (at least in the US) might be interested. I didn't price intl shipping so I don't know if it would be suitable outside North America. -- Bryan Phinney
