I recently bought an external USR 56k Faxmodem. The model no is USR5686D.
Here is a link to the product page.

Note this also supports the new V92 standard. It seems like a good modem.
Any external modem would be Ok with Linux, but the USR models seem to be a
good safe choice.
I would advise not trying to save money by buying cheap modems. I think
you need to expect to pay around $100 for a decent modem. Previously I
bought a Diamond Supraexpress which was a good bit cheaper, because I was
stupidly trying to save money, and I had no end of trouble with it. My new
modem seems significantly better. It is less flaky about dropping
connections and transfers data faster.
Faheem.
