[Techtalk] Looking for Modem Recommendations

[Doc Nielsen]

I totally agree. Get external if possible. USB if possible. I still got
my old modem on the shelf, in case i need it in the future. (Got DSL
now)

And from what i can read after a google search, the Zoom modem sounds
like a pretty good deal.
Good luck with it.
