External modems are the best way to go. BUT, if you're like me and can't spare the extra power plug, internal is still a must. The PPP program is optimized for USR, and Supra modems. I'm currently using a knock-off brand called Jaton with no problems, but would highly suggest a Zoom over USR or Supra.
