T1B

here's the deal,my niece gave me her old PC(Gateway PC 833/Essential) but i had to spend $50 bucks for a new memory(which was fried-she had a habit of downloading music,which caused the memory to go shot),plus i also shelled out $35 for a new power supply.

now my modem(which is standard) is 300 bps. should i get an analogue modem that allows me to connect online to the net. I recently signed up for Netscape's dialup service-even though i am tempted to try out Libcom's dialup service.

which analogue modem should i be looking at-TIA

I think you're fine with 300 bps but if you've got some extra cake to throw around look into this bad boy:



Sounds cool too!

It takes every bit of my self-control to give you a straight answer:

Since I doubt you have the mechanical skills to open the box up, I suggest you get an external modem.

You shouldn't pay more than hundred bucks for it.

Here's a winner:

This has to be a troll job. I think about 10 years ago I saw a 300 bps modem. No, wait, even that was a 14.4kbps one and that was in a 3 or 4 year old 'laptop'.
