One good high speed internet connection for dialup is the Ihug
satellite/radio dish thingy (Ultra I think is the marketing name)
Although the high speed is only one way. (up-load is via modem)
For a dial up I find it as fast as anything else and its reliability
OK.

There are, of course, some winmodems that have a linux driver. binary only? may not
work on all kernels?

work.
2: You won't be able to use any out of the box kernels from Redhat

Does anyone have nay sources for these beasts? Otherwise it's either ISA
