Not quite.  They are usually software modems now whereas before they were 
hardware.  They can keep them.

Yes but the external ones are hard to find.  I haven't seen any since way back 
when.  Certainly none around any of the stores in the major suppliers around 
these parts.  They push the crappy pci ones, no matter what manufacturer.  
Again, they can keep them.

Life is good,
