I'm also sure that someone on this list has a stash of serial modems
that they'd sell (or maybe even send for shipping costs).
If you don't have a serial port, or a PCI/ISA slot, then find a less
crufty computer to use. :/
Of all the places I would hope people wouldn't be
stuck with only the
latest Wintel trash (and yes, I consider a computers such as you
describe "trash")...
...but I suppose we can't all be that lucky.
You only can't find a hardware modem if you're too /lazy/ to spend time
trying to find one. :)
