Much as I hate microsoft software, if I had the money, I'd
probably get their new optical PS/2 scroll mouse. As for a
modem, almost any ISA modem will work, but I would
recommend you avoid PCI modems, as the vast majority of
them are not compatible with Linux.
Your best assurance that a modem will work with Linux is to
pick up an external modem. I personally like Supra modems
(Supra is now owned by Diamond MultiMedia) Compaq/Microcom
makes pretty good modems as well...
