There is a seller on ebay that always seems to have Creative labs Modem
Blaster external serial modems with a buy it now price of $17.99 plus
shipping for brand new modems. I have used this model modem before, it works
well in linux, a complete nobrainer to configure if ypu have a open serial
port.
I have some friends that have used this model for 2+ years with zero
problems. Cant go wrong at that price.
