Make sure the modem is not a WinModem. There are only VERY FEW that work!

If you (and you can still get them!!!!) get a normal modem (non winmodem)
ANY of the internal ones will work.


I do not understand why people need to have winmodems where the CPU
gets additional work to do, an additional driver is required (hence
more possibilities of failure) and a port is nothing else but an address!
