Seems you could do a hell of a lot worse these days.

Askey's invoice describes it as a "1433 33.6kbps internal modem",
and although there is no specific model number actually printed on the box,
the model I have is referred to as an "internal half-card", is
manufactured by (or for) Texas Instruments (using the TI DSP chipset), and
is also much the same modem which US Robotics market as one of their
Sportster models.

Prior to buying the Dynalink, I owned a couple of 33k6 Sportsters and a
33k6 Courier, and they ALL performed equally as well as each other IMO (and
much better than any Rockwell-based modems have from this particular site).

Same here, although I must admit that I've always tended to favour
internals anyway, especially now that modems are so reliable in general. 
As you'll appreciate, both types have their own distinct advantages, so IMO
it's basically a matter of buying the type which you think will suit you
best.

Regards, Bill
