Hello Wayne - 

->>>>  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. 

WC> This one I'm looking at doesn't appear to be USB as Best
WC> Data appears to indicate this in their naming convention. I
WC> too want to hang it off my serial port. 

WC> Also limited to USB 1 here but it's not a bother... until I
WC> replace my printer perhaps. 

WC> www.circuitcity.com has the Best Data hardware modem and
WC> specifies it's good for 486's on up as well as all flavors
WC> Windows AND DOS and Linux. Priced at 50 dollars. 

I suppose I could go with a jumpered internal modem but I have
'toyed' with other OS (OBERON for one) and would like to have a
simple serial port modem rather than have to struggle to get
the modem recognized by the OS.
