Traditional wisdom is that it's hard to go wrong with an external
modem, since they plug into a normal serial port which Linux always
knows how to talk to. There's no such thing as an external winmodem.
:-) This might be less true in the modern age of USB, though. Is
the connector a 9- or 25-pin serial connector, or is it USB or
something else?
