Your vendor just got the names mixed up. > 2. Are the 3Com or Rockwell you pointed out below > x2 technology of KFlex56?

Any knew modem you purchase should also support the new V.90 Standard. So you should really base your decision on the equipment your ISP uses for maximum compatibility. I am currently using an Internal x2 Sportster with no complications. It is PnP but I have it jumpered to a specific IRQ and COM port. From what I've been able to tell on the list however, is that external modems are preferred over internal ones when it comes to Un*x.
