Do NOT, NOT fit an internal modem.
Unknown to me my first modem, an internal, was faulty.
It hung and froze my system just looking at it, which meant I had to
re-boot every time. Pain in the proverbial.
An external one has an *on-off* switch. Need I say more.

NEVER NEVER again an internal modem.
Sods law now takes over.

Stick with whatever is the most popular/industry standard and you
can't go far wrong with computer equipment.
Happy Xmas
