RE: [SLUG] Internal Modems under linux.

The only internal modems I trust are the ISA ones that you can specify the
IRQ and COM port.. They never fail me..
But looks like you can't buy them either these days.

Almost none. Be very, very careful you don't fall into the trap of buying
Winmodems - modems which rely on the computer's CPU to think for them.
Most of them don't work under Linux.

My standard modem recommendation is the USR HST Courier - not sure if they
come in an internal version, though. And they cost a bundle, but they work
forever - I've had mine more than 7 years now, it's been on 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, and it's still going strong.
