Oh good, I was a little concerned that I might have problems installing it
under Win95 (and still may, as the new models are 33k6-capable, yet the inf
file which I have doesn't list the 31200 or 33600 link rates, and I'm not
at all sure how Win95 will react when the modem connects at speeds higher
than 28k8).  I'd hack the current inf file if I knew what the hell I was
doing, but I have no idea what the hex values after each connect string
mean.  Oh well, I won't be using the thing, so maybe I shouldn't be
worrying about it...

Can't comment on the internal, but I have heard that the external appears
to perform reasonably well, and will certainly be adequate for its intended
use.  I'm picking it up on Wednesday, and will let you know how it performs
here before I box it up for my father.
