Any (most?) external modem works okay as far as I have
heard. Besides, they have nice lights to tell you that
the link is hung awaiting more info/bits by not being
blinking when a page seems to hang forever.

Yes, they cost more, but are better as far as I have
seen. The second best is any 'full' modem..ie. not
windmodem. Some are 'linmodem' rated, but I still
prefer an external. Love my Hayes Courier.

Cyclists should expect and demand safe 
accommodation on our public roads, 
just as does every other user.  

Nothing more is expected. 

Nothing less is acceptable!

Long live Knoppix!!
