I would go with a brand name usb modem. Thats probably your
best bet (look on linux-usb.org), a banksia or netcomm would
probably be recognised.
You will also wana check what drivers do what, as i have found
with usb in 2.4 it doesnt always recognise compatable hardware.
(the smc usb ethernet i got with my adsl, or my quickcam express
both are "unrecognised" but work fine with a lil ismod ing)
