For an external modem, the display is fine where it is.
It's those people who bought or were otherwise "stuck" with internal modems 
that a wired display module would be most feasable.
Most computer cases already have a fairly standard cut-out and window for the 
CPU clock display - which many manufacturers consider "optional extras" thus 
leaving the window empty. A modem display like Supra's two-character one 
would fit PERFECTLY in such an opening. Maybe Supra could sell these with 
future internal modems as an "extra" and charge fifteen bucks or so for it. 
You never know what's happening with an internal modem now, with no way to 
monitor them.
