What is the difference between using a pre-installed internal modem and using a pc modem card? I have a somewhat old Sony Vaio PCG-SR5K laptop and it has a pre-installed 56k modem in it. I've used it to get online in the past, but only on dial-up. Other than the fact that one is internal and the other operates through a pcmcia slot, is there a difference between the pre-installed modem I have and these PC Card Modems I keep hearing about? If so, what is the difference?

internal modem using your cpu+sound card to process dial up and networking, so it will use more system resource. External card have independent hardware so it work more smooth.
