Subj : back in business To : CHARLES ANGELICH From : WAYNE CHIRNSIDE Date : Mon Dec 27 2004 08:07 am -> ->> I'm still looking for a good external modem. -> WC> I'm looking to a Best Data external hardware modem at 50 -> WC> bucks. -> All the externals I've found lately (new) are USB 2.0 and I -> have only USB 1.0 (naturally). I'm really annoyed by the -> preoccupation to connect everything to a USB 2.0 port. This one I'm looking at doesn't appear to be USB as Best Data appears to indicate this in their naming convention. I too want to hang it off my serial port. Also limited to USB 1 here but it's not a bother... until I replace my printer perhaps. www.circuitcity.com has the Best Data hardware modem and specifies it's good for 486's on up as well as all flavors Windows AND DOS and Linux. Priced at 50 dollars. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5 * Origin: Try Our Web Based QWK: DOCSPLACE.ORG (1:123/140) .
