59357 2002-07-03 03:57:00 If the internal one is on the motherboard, then you can probably disable it from the BIOS settings (check you screen as the PC boots up, it is usually <del> or a similar key to access the BIOS settings.)

If the internal modem is actually on a card in one of your slots, then taking it out and unistalling any drivers is the best option.
