Fred, Hang in there. I can't provide much except encouragement at this point, but I know the group can get you through this. Please be patient with us as almost everyone here has used DSL, Fiber, Cable, or satellite for years. The first time I installed Linux which was in the 90s I had ISDN so the last time I used dial-up had to be with Windows NT back in the mid-90s. I put this search "linux hardware modems" in Google and got a good set of responses including a $28 dollar Trendnet modem that linked to a review on Newegg.com specifically mentioning he had used it for Linux.
