I differ. A lot of people carry around a bag for a laptop, especially since
most power supplies for laptops require something other than just the laptop.
When you figure that an external serial modem is about the same size as a
plug-in floppy (which I have for my laptop) and about the same weight, adding
an external serial modem to your bag is really not that big a deal.
And, that is only if you know that you are going to need to dial in somewhere.
I agree with Bryan. However, with laptops there is a better solution, if
you can find it. I use a Xircom 56K PCMCIA modem with my Thinkpad. It is
a proper (not win-) modem. I am sure that there are other similar
products out there.
Don't waste your time with winmodems.
cheers
