Hello all, Sorry to revisit this topic, but I am thinking of buying a new PC, most of which, of course, say they have a 56K modem. I remember to run away from winmodems, that standalone external modems generally have all the parts one wants on board, and that older internal modems that fit in older ISA slots are generally OK.
What I do not remember is how to distinguish the good from the bad internal modems that fit in PCI slots -- which I believe are the majority of those that come with a whole system. Some do not work well with dos/linux, some require the CPU to do some work they should do, some emulate hardware modem functions in software (Ah - I just remembered another clue - avoid internal modems that require software ``drivers''). Can someone reeducate me on this topic? Howard Schwartz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
