The actiontec call waiting modem was the cheapest real-modem I could find back when I first started using linux, they are about $70 US. The call-waiting part saves you having to get a second phone line for the modem. It works transparently in linux or windows--the modem rings when you get a call, you can answer and talk briefly, or hang up and keep surfing. The only difficulty I've had is having to put a setserial line in rc.local to configure the irq and i/o port. Actiontec's website describes how to do that. Ben
