Odd - I'm seeing listings for USR 56K external modems all over the place.? Kind of surprised USR is still around, honestly.

Probably, but until a
couple of years ago I still had an external modem that I used for
faxing things as the medical profession (until fairly recently)
didn't like sending/receiving patient info by email. They still
don't, but will accept thing through their web portals. Anyway, in
the long run, it was more practical to install the dedicated com
port as it was a permanent part of my system.
Sadly, some smoke escaped from it one day and I've had a hell of a
time finding a replacement. As I refuse to run Windoze, most of
the internal modem cards (as well as many USB ones) are less than
useless to me.

I have used Win7,10,11 with PuTTY and a
USB-to-Serial cable with no problems.

I just looked at the Putty installed on my Win10 computer
and I didn't
see "serial" as an option anywhere.
On the other hand, the Win10 computer doesn't have any
serial ports
either. I'll check the copy on my 20 year old 98SE/XP
computer, the most
modern working computer I have with a serial port.
