a) Put external modem on parallel port!!!
Are you sure this is possible???
No!!!? But it does have a parallel port connecter on it!, The modem that is. Just me not thinking
I think you'll find that's a serial connector, not a parallel. Expect much fire and brimstone if you plug that into your parallel port! My Hayes modem has a 25 way D type connector which is most definately serial.
Not that I've had bad experiences with 25ways D types, just spent most of this afternoon working out the wiring for a 25 to 9 pin RS422 adapter.
