As I understand it, if it is a 'winmodem' internal ---
skip it. Internals need their own guts, not using the
cpu sharing thingy. 

Externals don't share stuff with the OS soooo, they
just have the guts to run. 

There ARE some internal modems that have the same guts
as the externals, USR has some. They are the
'expensive'er' models..around $50 and up, instead of
under $25 new.

I think it is USR's 'business class' courier modems
but don't quote me on internals...always used
externals/linux.
