One other main advantage of an external only modem is "when lightning attacks" I had this happen to me and it killed 2 external modems and the serial ports they were attached to but the computers still worked afterwards. (one of the modems was blown into 2 distinct bits :) I had a couple of neighbours who had internal modems and they both needed new computers (which in a way could be an advantage I guess, if you have insurance as you get a free upgrade)
