- This is not OS dependant. The only good usage of an internal modem without
- hardware status lights: Replace an existing external of the same type and
- proven reliability, connected to a software of proven reliability.

- My original message asked fⁿr hardware switch and status lights for
- internals, instead of inventing funny proprietary adapter cards for
- externals.
