I too would recommend an external serial port (not USB) 56 K Modem. I have the dlink 560S its good.

D-Link are the best in modems.

Almost all modems have some Rockwell chipset on them. Even a new internal modem shouldn't give any problem in Linux/Unix. Only make sure that you don't buy those cheap SoftModem (Better known as WinModems coz they only run under windows). DLink should be good enough.
