Post USB External Modems.

Are these any better than an internal modem? I'm using a laptop with USB ports. The unit came with an internal modem, but I was suckered in to purchase an external. Although I've switched between the two types, I've not noticed any real difference in speeds. I'm running XP on a 56K USB unit. I have to travel lightly, so I'm a little anti regarding an external modem that uses 240V for power. Any one out there that has 'run the modem gaunlet' like I have? Should I discard the external unit for the internal? Thanks in advance.
