Possibly true, I haven't been shopping for a laptop for a long time though I
thought that some Sonys and possibly some Dells had non-winmodems. Perhaps
better advice would be to watch out that the particular (win)modem is
supported for linux. I have a couple of thinkpads with Lucent modems and
never did get them running but then again I didn't try to hard since a
PCMCIA modem was not expensive and worked out of the box.
