Does anybody know of a good, cheap modem that is well-supported on

If you can find one of the older Diamond external USB modems, they
work well. I used to own one, but gave it away. In retrospect, that
probably wasn't a good move. Any of the modems you find that have a
"controller" on them should work. The cheapest I've been able to find
recently new is in the ~$40 range.

The easiest way though would be to go to CRRC and see if you can dig
one up. I bet they'd let them go cheap.

FWIW though, the winmodems in several thinkpad and Sony laptops I've
worked with recently Just Worked under Ubuntu, so.... *shrug*
