Regarding modems, I always liked the fact that external modems had lights.
I eventually started using internal modems, but I always avoided software-based internal modems. I tended to like US Robotics internal modems, since they always seemed to offer a hardware-based internal modem.
I don't remember having many problems with internal modems requiring a reboot.
I seem to remember seeing a few internal modems that had a front panel with modem lights that would fit into a 3.5" floppy drive bay, but those were few and far between.
I still have yet to see the new Star Wars movie, but I plan to see it at some point. I've heard generally good things about it so far, and that it's better than the prequel movies.

I've never seen one of those. Definitely a cool feature, but so few users would even know what the lights meant, it was kind of a geek-feature anyway. I use a USRobotics (Sportster) external modem for my BBS dial-up line today and often check the LEDs out of habit. Oh, and when I don't want it to pick up the line, I just turn it off. :-)
