There are 3 main versions of the Supra Express - the ISA internal and external serial models are essentially the same - Rockwell/Conexant hardware chipsets. The USB model uses a Lucent hardware chipset. Note that USB modems by definition (the nature of USB) use CPU resources similar to a software modem. That said, if you must use a USB modem, this is the one to get - reboot has tested several and says that this is the only real stable one that he has found. I have my doubts whether *any* USB modem is suitable for hardcore gaming though - I would stick with the ISA or the serial model.
