[KLUG Members] linux modems

[Justin Buist]

Once DSP baed modems hit the market I'd never ever consider anything but an 
external one now.  You're guaranteeed to have a real hardware modem, one that will work across all OSes.  I know they're a tad more expensive, but if you find the cheapest external one you can get your hands on you'll probably be happier with that than a similarly priced internalone.
