Depending on which version of linux you are running the vendor sites may offer a hardware compatibility list - I know Mandrake does - check there and see if they are compatible with your distro.

I would seriously consider an external modem, I have never run into problems with the generic ones.

I've agreed with you phat_penguin...generic external modem..is good choice for linux user, I've got that a bit information just..in case someone need it and I recommend most of EXTERNAL modem can be use for LINUX...easy and no hassless..
