Don't buy an internal modem!  If you later decide you don't like MCA, you
won't be able to move your modem.  Also, MCA slots are a VERY LIMITED
resource.   My mod 70 has only 3.  I don't think you want to be using them
up without need.  Your motherboard will have a "free" serial port, so look
at an external modem.  External 2400 modems are available for around $100.
MCA is going to cost much more.  If you feel you CANNOT stand the unsightly
external modem, look at one of the "itty-bitty" modems designed for
use with laptops.  They are a little more expensive, but you can
velcro it to the back of your pc and pretend that it is internal.
