Topic: Modem recommedations?

[John Lewis]

After spending hours trying to get an internal PCI modem to work, I've found out it is a winmodem, so won't work.

Any recommendations on what modems I should use?  Internal are preferable for space and power issues, but ultimately, price and compatibility are the most important.

What are you all using?  

Thanks.

I use external modems - as you will hear from others I'm sure - they are much easier to set up and troubleshoot.  LED's for status and diagnostics and a power button for 'resetting' the modem if needed instead of having to re-boot the whole server.

I have two servers setup with Viking K56 external modems - which use a Rockwell chipset.  They work great - no problems.

Let us know how you make out.

It isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for. Of course you can get it cheaper if you don't buy direct.
