Any "hardware" modem will work fine; which includes by neccessity all
external modems. Such a modem will only require the OS to have a
serial driver, which linux has.
So just get an external or buy an old one. ebay probably has plenty
of them dirt cheap. Multitech and Zyxel are the most well respected
brands.
