What's good about external modems is afaik they're all hardware-based,
so there's no chance of getting a winmodem that won't work with linux.
But there are internal hardware modems that work fine, and they're often
cheaper than external modems. I personally prefer internal modems
because you don't have extra stuff hanging off your box. Otoh, external
modems are easy to reset. Ones I've used with good results are:
ISA: Aopen ITU/2 (about $30, if you can still find them).
PCI: 3com 2977, 2978, 5610. (oem voice and no voice, and retail.
starts at about $40).
According to the winmodems are not modems website at
http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html, Zoom does make a hardware
based internal modem, the Zoom 2920 (Digitan DS550-558). I haven't used
it, but I have seen it on sale at Best Buy for $40.
