I have many USRobotics and Hayes modems that have worked quite nicely with Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD. I don't agree with the general statement: internal = bad, external = good. I will agree that external modems have a higher success ratio than internal modems, mostly because Winmodems poison the internal pool.
