Yes.  External modems  *must* be real modems, so they are always
a good value.

The only problem with USB stuff is that it is all done
by polling, rather than interrupt driven -- i'm not sure
which as the worst CPU overhead -- polling on USB or
the CPU having to play DSP(digital signal processing)
games because lose-modems don't have proper DSP chips
inside them.
