with certain internal modems, you may have to go some hoops for get them
properly recognized (pnp modems in particular) Once they're recognized as
valid serial devices, however, the setup is identical.

When setting up linux for a modem, does it make a difference between
internal and external, or are they pretty much treated the same way?

Nope. A modem is a modem is a modem. However, if you get a Plug and Pray
internal modem, you'll need to download isapnptools from
http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/ to deal with how PnP
handles IRQ assignments.

And whatever you do, don't get a so-called "Win-modem"! Those require
software to work that only runs on Lose95.
