Dial-up modems throw out, they're the exceptions in my opinion.
Agreed. I always keep the good parts and toss out the garbage, and by garbage I mean PCI based "software" modems aka the dreaded Winmodem, those are useless heaps of crap. ISA hardware modems I keep though if they are 56k.
Sometimes however, i'll donate parts or sometimes whole computers to our local Goodwill Computer Works store. To those that don't know what that is, Goodwill Computer Works is a store provided by Goodwill as a retail outlet for new and used computer hardware and software at extremely discounted prices, and a donation center for new & used electronics.
