I'd recommend against the internal Express on account of it's jury-rigged
UART. One of my downlinks was attempting to run one of these on his board.
I believe he eventually got it working right, but it gave him a heck of a
fight. Fast modem though, and probably fine for making BBS and Internet
calls.
