which modem should I get (fwd)

[Kevin O'Connor]

I use a Diamond Supra Express 56k (external) most of the time and it has
worked well for me. I also have a USR 56k (external) that I keep as a
back up but the USRs are more expensive and I don't think they are worth
it in the price range that we are dealing with.

I used to use a Global Village teleport 56k internal but I use and
recommend external modems for LINUX. ( And for anything else for that
matter...)
