On the Portege there is no internal modem. The modem that I received with
the laptop is a NoteWorthy 56K PCMCIA modem that linux recognized right off
the bat. It detects and plays great. That would be your most convenient
option.

the portege is defnitely cool - but a little pricey.... Maybe I can
swing it. Does the modem work? Or do I have to get an external?
The redhat site has NO info on pcmcia modems at all....
