When you get an internal modem, just make sure that they are "real" modems and not winmodems. For a non-technical person like me I can not tell for sure the difference between a winmodem, and a real internal modem, because they look alike to me. External serial modems are not too expensive. Recently, I bought a D-Link 56Kbps Data/Fax/Voice external serial modem for less than P2,000 (or less than USD40) from Villman. I used to have a 14.4 external serial modem which kept disconnecting (faulty off/on switch). Now I do not have the constant disconnection problem anymore, and I am connecting at the fastest rate my PLDT line will allow. If you connect to the Net on a regular basis, it is good to invest in a reliable modem. P~Manalastas _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
