majordomo - Hi. I have been pondering my choices for a quality dial-up modem formy PC. I will be going with the best brand for modems (US Robotics)but I have come up to a kind of mental stumbling block. As I wasgoing around the local shops to find the market value of a modem, aRadio Shack jobber told me that an external modem would hook up withthe Internet a *lot* faster than an internal modem of the same speedrating and specs (56K; V92).I was surprised to hear this, but I wasn't convinced so I wanted toconfirm this at another computer store (Computer Resource). There,the guy told me someting to this effect, "An external modem will beslower than an internal one and will be three times the cost." Noweverything is so clear!!Now, I am more confused than ever. I want the fastest 56K modemaround but I am uncertain whether to go with an internal or externalmodem. Can someone knowledgeable about modems clarify this for me?Much appreciated,Bruce
