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

AND that is WHY thy still make HARDWARE MODEMS.


MK> TW> And the Hardware Models are STILL being Sold. IT was the Hardware
MK> TW> External Serial Moem that I saw at FRY's.
MK> TW> The Price was $99 by the way.

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


I just walked into the Store and it was on the Shelf with all the rest
of the Modems. Was'nt HARD at all. And incidently they had HARDWARE
external Serial Modems from several other companies.

As far as pushing the PCI Win Modems as P T Barnum once said  "A FOOL
and his Money is soon parted"
