I use an Acer/AOpen 56K internal ISA modem :

  Acer/AOpen FM56PVS-DL

I jumpered it to COM2, IRQ3 and it works like a charm with both
Windows and Linux.

US Robotics does make a few internal hardware modems, but I think
that all of their current and newer models are only PCI WinModems. I
got bitten by a WinModem when I first bought my system a few months
ago and had to buy a hardware modem.

Like another poster mentioned, check out the site below :
