I do not live in the UK but here is a listing for a few internal modems
that ARE hardware modems and will work in Linux.
*US Robotics(3 Com).........5610
*Actiontec...........................Call Waiting
*Actiontec...........................DeskLink
*Best Data...........................Smart One 56SE
*DiamondMM......................SupraExpress 56i
*Hayes.................................Accura 56k.
*Pace...................................Pace 56 Voice
*Zoom..................................2919 Dual mode
The Pace is manufactured in the UK so you should definitly be able to
find it. Whichever you decide to choose get the specific model listed
because all the above named companies sell Winmodems which you do not want.
I hope this is of help to you.
