Just to clarify, the Best Data Modems refered to above are not
"winmodems" and in fact indicate linux supported on the box of the
internal modem. I know of no external modem that will not work with
linux due to the fact that they are all of necessity "controller" modems
i.e. they do not need the computer cpu to function, they have their own
chipset. So external modems are the best bet.
