External modems are generally safer, plus you get das blinkenlights to
watch.

The LightSpeeds have proven a steady workhorse for me. You generally
have to do something daft like plug the AC adaptor designed for another
modem into one's DC-in socket to kill it (-: no, it wasn't me, and it's
happened at least four times with this one bloke that I know of, now all
of his modems are 9V DC :-).
