As others have stated, ideally, you would use an external or real internal 
modem (versus a Winmodem).  That said,  either of those options tend to be 
expensive.  I have had very good luck with several several different brands 
of Winmodems that are based on the PCTel chipset.  There are drivers on the 
internet for it, and it's simple to compile and install them.  Being a 
Winmodem, they also work fine with Windows 98.

The best news, is that they are very inexpensive.  I just purchased another 
one for $6 (plus $9 shipping) from www.pcbuyerclub.com.  There is a link for 
the drivers on www.linmodems.org.  I believe it is called Jan's PCTel 
Resources.
