Your best bet is to see what is offered in your area (stores, or the web),
and get the _exact_ model numbers. Then hit your favorite search engine,
and look for that model number, and the words 'modem Linux' and see what
turns up. Most RS-232 externals (the old serial port) work just fine (USB
wasn't well supported then), while PCI internals tend to be loosers.

Remember having fun with internal modems - most turned out to be winmodems.
Bought an external US Robotics sportster flash - it took longer to get it
out the box than it did to get it working, though my ppp scripts were
already in good shape. Not sure what the best option is nowadays.
