*Impossible*?!!  I bought an external US Robotics 56K modem a few 
years ago from CompUSA and it has been working fine all that time 
on my QNX box through Vonage.

Now it looks like CompUSA does not sell the *external* version 
anymore, but NewEgg still does.  You can usually tell it is a 
*real* modem as the cost is closer to $100 instead of $10 - $20 
for the WinModems...

C64 + IDE64? :)  But I don't think there is any BBS software (yet!) 
that supports the IDE64.

Note: there is also the DUART for the IDE64 which adds a dual port 
RS-232 interface.  Or the ETH64 which adds an ethernet port...
