Two good infosources to check out:
The Linux on a Laptop page
http://www.linux.org/hardware/laptop.html
Red Hat Hardware Compatibility list
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/hardware.html
The latter states:
15.7 Modem and serial cards
Known to work:
Advantech COMpad-32/85 dual serial
Quatech, IOTech dual RS-232 cards
Quatech quad RS-232 card
Socket Communications dual RS-232 card
Virtually all modem cards, simple serial port cards, and digital
cellular modems should work. The only known exceptions are the
Compaq
192, the New Media WinSurfer, and other modems that require special
Windows drivers. ISDN modems that emulate a standard UART are also
supported.
