- So, I like an internal modem because it tkaes up no space, does not
- need another outlet, and has no wires going to my serial port.
-
- My friend tells me an internal modem is a lightning strike waiting
- to happen...and it will blow my mother board.
-
- Are external modems safer, better than internal ?
-
- Can lightning run through an external modem and serial cable and FRY
- my motherboard just as an internal can ?
-
- Please post here, but send me a copy.
-
- Thnaks!
