PW>  What speed is an external motorola modemsurfr model 3456 ext ms us,

If it's like this Model 3456 ISA MS CAN internal I have here, it's other
name is SM56. SM = Soft Modem = WINmodem 56k.

I can't use it though. When installed, it's auto-detected by the BIOS
as a Rockwell K56flex PnP (which is what it is, based on the chips),
but half-way through displaying the BIOS summary screen where the
memory, drives, etc. are displayed, the system locks tight. Even
C-A-Del won't reset it. Have to power off. Gee, I hate "WIN"things.

You sure it isn't printed on the case? I had to read the sticker on
a GVC 33.6 external (#19 in my "modems" box) 3 times before I finally
spotted "9Vac, 1A", which I don't have. It probably fell all the way
to the bottom of the dumpster.
