the next time you shop for a modem, it will say on the package if it is a winmodem or
not...
winmodem's are not really covered under linux yet, but there are some beta code for a
couple I know of...
I always found the external modems to be better for me..
some like the internals though..
you may want to ask the store clerk or who ever is there that you don't want a
winmodem...
I have a U.S. Robotics 56k V.90 modem on mine and works great...
