On the advice of someone who will remain nameless, I bought a real expensive USR external modem.  It works maybe a tiny bit better than the ISA modem that it replaced, but not $200 better.  At least there are flashing lights to watch on those long climbs.....  :)

BTW, I've been running a USR 56k modem for years. Very good for gaming.

If you're having trouble finding a non-Winmodem, get an external one and you should be in good shape. Winmodems (heck, maybe internal modems in general?) suck CPU cycles, which at the same time increases their ping times. Not a good thing for gaming.

External modems are the equivelant of a SCSI device.

PCI modems are the equivelant of ATA66 IDE HDDs.

ISA modems are the equivelant of ATA100 IDE HDDs (in terms of ping time and relative speed)

winmodems, any kind, are the equivelant of a 5 1/4" floppy drive.

ZooM and USR are the best, I've been using a 56K ZooM ISA for the past 2 1/2 years. Got it for free, and works great.

No, I'll bet he doesn't want one because, while it doesn't say "Winmodem," it is a Winmodem, and Fester specifically stated he did not want a Winmodem.

Hmmm.  Looks like my mistake.  I looked at the USR page and didn't match up model numbers correctly.
