Re: modem support



Unfortunetly at this point in time win modems are really not supported,
and due to the way they function, probably never will be.
I recommend a good external modem, such as a USR/3COM Sportster
or if you can afford it/find it for a good price a USR/3COM Courier.
I have an external courier I have had for almost 10 years now, and it
works awesome, it was fully software upgradeable to X2 and then V.90,
it has seem MANY thousands of hours of use and still works awesome.

Regards,

Todd
