Any external modem should work. Some internal modems
|
|
will --- but I don't recommend internal modems as a rule.

Unfortunately modems are one of those classes of PC
|
|
components where the specific models and brands change
|
|
so often that I just can't keep track of the "good ones."

I personally like Zyxel and Practical Peripherals.
|
|
I don't like the USR "Sportster" line (cheap) and find
|
|
that their "Courier" series is of high quality but
|
|
also inordinately high price for home applications.
|
|
(ISPs see very high duty cycles on their modems ---
|
|
the extra money spent on an industrial grade modem for
|
|
them is usually well spent; home and most office system
|
|
modems get only intermittent use and light duty cycles).
