Thanks! Go to ebay and get a U.S. Robotics external V.everything modem.Do the USR external modems exceed their internal modems in abilities? Ifso, I am assuming that it may be because of a particular chipset used. (?)Is there a chipset that I should look for?Much of the time I hear modem gurus say words similar to "buy xyz brand, butmake sure it's not the ones that use the Lucent chipset", etc.Advice?It's not clear to me that USR ever made a PCI internal V.everythingmodem. Does anyone here know of one ? The "V.everything" designatesthis product line. It's been made in several forms over the years andthe original models predate single-chip designs. The serial port usedto be bottlleneck (115kb/sec) but that seems to be solved in modernmachines.A look at the USR web site shows that they are bringing the Courier lineup to v.everything specs. I don't see an internal version."The U.S. Robotics Courier 56K Business Modem with V.Everythingand V.Everywhere technology is the latest in the distinguishedCourier line.:http://www.usr.com/products/business/business-product.asp?sku=USR3453BThe v.everything modems always won best of breed in tests for- real thruput on degradded lines, (the sync speed doesn't really tellyou much),- compatibility with other modem brands, and- stability (doesn't lock up and need power cycling, and minimumdropped connections)I haven't seen a review of modems in years. It looks like gamersare going to want v.92, and I don't see the current v.everythingsupport this. It's a business modem.USR still makes them and is able to charge $260 for the externalmodels. The older models can be upgraded to current statndards byfirmware download (with limitations). These modems are commonly used inremote locations for dial-up to manage/troubleshoot computer equipmentin unattended locations where you'd have to fly a technician out topower cycle a modem, and rebooting the system it's connected to is outof the question. These modems are/were used by ISPs for their modembanks because of the interoperatibility. Oh yes, you get real techsupport with these puppys, not that a home user is likely to need itby these modems have some very sophisticated features that businessesuse and need occasional help and fixes.I made a recommendation, and I think the ebay price is a bargin for amodem you won't be unhappy with. That is not to say that there arenot other good modems (probably made by usr ;-)) In the mid-90's theworld was awash in crappy modems and everyone was buying one for theirfirst home internet hookup. The v.everything modems were an island ofcalm at the time.It's been a long time since I bought a home modem. (two yearsago I bought several v.everything modems to remotely managesome racks of Cisco routers, and I've had one at home thatwas in use until I got my broadband connection) Look for V.90 since they made millions of models that predate the v.90 standard. The V.everything modem always beat out all the other brands for thruput on less-than-perfect connections. You might get one for as little as 30 bucks. -- Al Dykes ----------- adykes@panix.com--Al Dykes-----------adykes@panix.com
