Jim,

Depends, if this an external modem it will make your need for
high speed port even more urgent since the data has to get somehow
into your computer. If it is an internal modem you don't need any
port at all.
> 2. What does a high speed port offer beyond my USR 56K VoiceWin modem?
That you don't lose your data. The basic issue is that your
operating system cannot poll the data as fast as necessary
from the port. This is why the port must be able to store as much
data as possible.

You can lease a dedicated line or get some decent satellite service.

This is a marketing tool from Mr. Brown where users get abused for
free by Mr. Brown in the following fashion:
