Why are external modems more expensive than internal devices?
An internal modem consists of a card that is installed in the computer, it has no additional wires or hardware. An external modem is more expensive to produce because, in addition to the card, there is the plastic housing that contains it, indicator lights, and cables to connect it to your computer.
Difference between internal and external modem?
An internal modem is going to be one which fits into a PCI or other expansion slot on your computer and thus communicates directly with the BUS on your motherboard. An external modem connects to a computer via a serial port, parallel port or USB port. This means it will need to go through a controller chip before being allowed access to the main system BUS. If you are referring to analog modems (aka, dial up) then the difference will be very little. It is more important to get a "Hardware" modem and not a "Win" modem which uses the CPU of your machine to emulate a controller chip, thus causing it to slow down slightly. Of course on modern PC's this is negligible. If you mean a modem for DSL or Cable for example most will be external. Usually connected to a router of some kind and then fed to your computer(s) with network cables which would be transparent to the computer. Hope this helps!
An external modem connects to a computer using which port?
In the past external modems connected to the COM (or serial) port. However, most modern external hardware is USB these days, modems are no exception.
What are the peripherals connected to the computer system?

What would happen if you took away the modem to a computer?
Well it depends on whether the computer connects to the internet with this modem. If you're talking about an external cable modem, you would probably lose your internet connection. If you're talking about an internal dialup modem inside the computer, removing it would mean you can't connect via dialup but it would not affect the external modem. Hope this helps

The differences of internal and external modems?
An internal modem is virtually a card that plugs into a board inside of your computer. It has no lights & is powered by the computer's power transformer.... An external modem is a stand alone unit which usually requires an independent power source i.e. a small transformer that plugs into a power socket. It is different to an internal modem in that it provides visual indication, via lights , which indicate the status of your connection...... this can be handy when eliminating computer connection faults. It is also the more expensive of the two for those reasons.
