While internal modems allow one to not clutter up their deskspace with 
equipment, they tend to cause some problems when trying to troubleshoot. There 
are usually no lights to look at to see what the RS232 interface is doing, and 
there is no way to place any type of test equipment between the modem and the 
PC to try to figure out what may be going wrong when someone has problems. My 
recommendation would be to bite the bullet and get an external modem. You will 
find it much easier to address problems when they occur.
