Compaq laptop modem

I think the presario's had 'winmodems' which have problems on linux,
though I thought someone was working on getting them working under
linux.

You can pick up a pcmcia modem card that works for linux pretty cheap and
if you drop 80 bucks or so you can get a combo ethernet/modem that works
under linux.
