About 2 years ago, I received one of their adds about a dirt cheap, 2400bps,
internal, half-card, AT compatable modem.  I took a chance, and have been
very happy with it ever since.  I bought an an external, 2400bps U.S.
Robotics for work;  I don't like it as well as the Online's. "Computer Shopper" 
advertisers, however, have listed a similar product for even less.  I forget
who they were, but they're there, somewhere in the 700+ pages.  My guess is 
that you would make out all right with this product.
