I have a cheap external modem that appears to be a win modem. I've never been able to use it with anything other than windows. In case anyone wants to avoid it, the manufacturer has dubbed it the Elsa model (maybe because it uses a serial lion? Or maybe because it works only with Windows, and is therefore Bourne free?). Before buying an external modem, you should check to see what systems it is compatible with, just as you do with internal modems. Bob Hall -- Know thyself? Absurd direction!
