So, what kind of 56k modem [either internal or external, preferably 'Real' Modem] do you recomend for Linux? ThanX!

None. Get cable. Got my cable connection up and running in a few seconds on Red Hat.

Some of us don't have the luxury of cable RedX:

i)In many places/countries its bloody expensive
ii)And thats only if its avaliable. The best connection you can get where I live is a 128kISDN.

Eh, yeah, cable is out of the question [Any kind of broad band for that matter].

Anything by USRobotics/3Com that is External is a surefire bet. If it is internal be warry of the cheaper modems (< $50US) which rely on Windows to do most of it's work... this is the so-called winmodem. But I definitely recommend external 56K :-) The major thing to do is read all the fine print. Linux can now handle most "plug-n-play" modems with relative ease. And a lot of packages are starting to include Linux in its compatibility listings. Good luck.

(and a quick google for
"XXXX modem" + linux
will usually yield results that will tell you if it works well or needs some minor setup)

The Creative AudioBlaster PCI modems are real modems. The boxes advertise it as a feature "real modem that doesn't waste your processor cycles" or something. My friend Greg gave me one to replace my 28.8 ISA modem, but I can't install it because:

18:46:10 up 93 days, 6:46, 4 users, load average: 0.61, 0.37, 0.23

It is all I have left to live for ;)
