Get yourself an external unit, don't mind to much about baudrate, I'm using
an 14k4 unit but on my desktop PC it runs MUCH faster, so I'm thinking the
OGO can't take that much data.
The reasons for not using an internal unit are threefold:
1. You'll be left without a slot for PC-Cards; you'll need extra memory to
store your E-mail
2. Modems eat batterys for breakfast; an external unit uses it's own battery
or PS.
3. You can use the ext.unit on a PC as well.
