V92 Modem

Wrong.  When I was shopping for my modem, several of the external ones used
the phrase winmodem.  I also remember the original US Robotics winmodems cam
both internal and external.

The question I didn't ask is does the e-smith recognize the modem
automatically when booted?  If so it is not a winmodem.  If it doesn't, I
would look for another modem.

How can an external modem be a Winmodem?

Any external modem (on a serial port) basically uses
the Hayes-type protocol.  Is USB different?
