I ask this because I'm planning of switching completely to Linux, and because I need to constantly use the internet, I'm interested in buying a "real" modem that is going to work under Linux and other *nices.

Thanks in advanced for your replies.
 
Can you give a couple more brands? US Robotics modems seem to be a bit on the expensive side, what are other, more affordable serial modems?
 
They still make those things?

Anyway, what makes you think you need an external serial modem to use with Linux? It'll work w/ regular PCI modems, ethernet, wireless, anything really.

Also, what makes that a "real" modem as opposed to others?
 
i had used U.S Robotics since my first day using internet, and still i use U.S Robotics, weather its a dial-up moedm, or DSL. stable and powerful.
 
I'm thinking when he says real as opposed to other, that the other would be a winmodem and a real modem being a hardware driven modem (they are more expensive).
