I will.  I'll have to install the modem to do so, but no big deal :)

They cost $30 more than the internals.  Save that much money, you can buy
the rackmount (ie, save $30 each on 20 modems...).  At least, that was the
price difference at the time that I bought mine.

I had a couple of 28.8 external sportsters upgraded to 33.6k that I had at
the PHT office in Utah (still have them AFAIK), which I had set up as
dialins on a cyclades 8 port ISA card.  Worked great under Linux, and I
could dialup from home after-hours and have the entire T1 link to myself
:)
