To my knowledge, there are no external win-modems.  If it's external, it
will work with Linux.  With INTERNAL modems, you'll have to be more careful,
but most ISA modems with jumpers can be used (I have an ISA with the
Rockwell chipset, my daughter has a Motorola, external, and I just picked up
an ELSA external for a friend off of eBay for $32 from "PC Ambulance").
