All Linux OSes have dial up support. The problem lies with the type of modem you have. If it is an internal "winmodem" - i,e the sort which tend to come bundled in PCs - then the chances of it working straight away can vary. All real modems - i.e those which do not rely on drivers to perform the actual modulation/demodulation of the signal - work fine. I suspect you will have a winmodem - which, because of the reluctance of manufacturers to release the information to create a Linux driver (or indeed their reluctance to create a Linux driver themselves), make it unlikely the modem would work at first. Many winmodems WILL work with Linux - once the correct driver is located and installed, however, it is not a task for those completely new to Linux. If you have a Winmodem, this will be the case with all Linux distros.
