To me, the best reason to have an external modem is that if it somehow gets all wonky, you can turn it off and reset it without turning off the computer. I had an internal modem once that would overheat once in a while, locking up solid. Nothing to do but shutdown. That said, I'd still rather have $30 in my pocket than have nifty LEDs to look at or not have to shutdown to clear a modem. With a little research you can find yourself an internal modem that works well for a reasonable price. Got my phone line hooked through the surge suppressor, and my computer overvalued on the homeowner's insurance :) (that's just a joke, insurance people!). -Ben -- Benjamin Lewis (blewis@vet.vet.purdue.edu)
