Designated "Smart one 56spx". small and light doesn't take up any room to speak of. A Jaton communicator internal ISA modem also works well. Depending on Motherboards I have found that the ISA modems with jumpers are the ones that work best. You can set the IRQ and port yourself. I have one that is jumperless and only works with Plug n pray set to on in Bios which can screw up some other things, so I stick to the external. Anyway, take a look at E-bay if you want cheap, alot of people just getting cable or DSL are getting rid of perfectly good modems. Just be carefull and do your homework to make sure you get one that is a true modem and not a winmodem. HTH, -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842
