Which is the best type of modem internal or external?

I read ages ago it was internal due to some reason that escapes me, but 4 posts down it says external are best. Someone in the know please help. Bye the why can u suggest some good makes.

externals are best m8.the one to get is the diamond supra express e/pro.this is an external modem and costed around 60 quid.

I beg to differ but it's down to price and astetics - Do you want a box outside - or it all tucked inside?

The hardware is IDENTICAL (accept you get an extra 16550 on an internal + it's cheaper)

I know people worship modems but when it comes to hardware (not softwre) a mode is a modem is a modem

Hi,

There's some general ramblings about internals VS externals (and some modem recommendations) on my web site. URL in my signature.
