I am affriad I got my modem way over a year ago, at the inflated price
of about $500 :(

you are correct in saying I have on of the internal ones
and I have to fidle with the insides :(
wehn I find the time to do it that is :(

however, most modems have the same internal parts
the only major differnce is usally the case, software
and sometimes the firmware that gets built into the modem.

I am not sure about your modem, because I have never used it, but
from what I have heard iot is quite stable, compare to the internal one
which is half sound card and half modem.



thanx for your time
