I have an ISA mwave modem that you can have.

It is a softmodem with drivers in the kernel source and also has sound card 
capabilities.

Volker let me know if you are interested and I will bring it to the next 
meeting.

I have found old ISA [1]modems work well as fax capable modems. In particular 
efax detects and configures them with little hassle.

I have an Intel536 hardware accelerated pci modem sourced from Dick Smith 
(stock code XH1154) which works under Linux satisfactorily.

[1] Sometimes getting the bios and operating system to recognise the ISA card 
can be a bit of a hassle and modem computers are unlikely to have ISA slots.

I recommend the isapnptools package for wrangling with misbehaving ISA cards.
