DirectCom used to make good internal hardware modems, but I think all their
internals are now winmodems...ask a few dealers to check this out for you.

Perhaps the 'big list' at the following address will help you decide:

one word _EXTERNAL_.  yes, i know you said internal but why not expand
your possibilities?  since most mice these days are ps/2 or usb, you
probably have nothing on your rs232 ports.  why not use it?

Some machines don't have serial ports.  Some of us already have too many other
things on our serial ports (on my system, I have a ups, an X-10 controller, a
Palm hot-sync cradle, and the embedded board I'm currently testing).

It looks as if Zoom still has one model which might meet your needs.
Their model 2920 is a 56k, PCI, controller-based modem with Fax Class
1 and voice support.  If you go to www.zoom.com, select the Modems/USA
page, click the boxes for Internal PCI and Linux and 56k and do a
search, this is the one which comes up.

Internal are fine, as long as you make sure that the modem is a real
modem, not some sort of winmodem. Ie it should state that it works under
Linux or under real DOS (not the DOS under windows). Get a return policy
to make sure that it works under Linux. 



Basically if you can persuade it to dial out under Linux, then it should
work.

The Actiontec Internal PCI 56k modem at www.everythinglinux.com.au.
It's an internal "Firmware" modem.. The manual that comes with it
even includes instructions on how to use /proc/pci and "setserial"
to get it to work in Linux.
