CNET external modem modem #5614XE. 56k, verified working with Linux, around $50. Word is they have some really good hubs too. Beware any modem that says "host based" or sports a minimum CPU requirement -- it's probably a skanky WinModem thing. This I learned from my own experience.

I have a winmodem.:(. In fact it seems that Gateway only installs winmodems on their systems. As I have to replace current modem can anyone recommend a good one?Thanks
