I don't see how you can say modems are "the _worse_ hardwares ever invented" they are about the one thing that doesn't need a driver in any OS (provided they are not a winmodem, but thats a different thing really) I always got around the problem of having to bugger around with jumpers etc. by getting a real external modem, I think that perhaps modems would be best classed as "the best hardware that shows why you really don't want to try doing it on the cheap and save a few quid"
