A friend of mine has been through *6* internal modems in the past two weeks.
The externals seem to be OK - they at least work on the day you take them home
from the shop. Not one of the internals would function as a fax.
 
I bought a DALLAS internal V32bis modem earlier this year and it lasted
*exactly* one day. I returned it and bought a SUPRA.
 
Another friend of mine was happy with his DALLAS - until it died two months
later.....He is now getting a SUPRA.....
 
DALLAS has a good modem - if it works...
 
Buy a DALLAS modem from a local supplier who is prepared to keep feeding you
new ones until you get one that owrks. You do NOT want to mail order this
modem. 
 
As I said, theexternals seem to work better than the internals. The 24/96's
seem to work OK, to. It is just the V32bis internal version have have an
almost 100% failure rate after 3 month.
