When purchasing a modem you should take into consideration whether you want an external or internal modem.
External modems are slightly more expensive because they come with their own power supply.
External modems require an open serial port in order to interface with your computer. External modems are useful if you like to watch what is going on with your computer. They have lights that show you the status of your modem at all times. External modems are limited by the speed of the serial port that they are connected to. Some computer's serial ports are not fast enough for a 28.8 baud modem.
