Aren't external USB modems just external winmodems in another cloak? I've 
settled on two varieties that seem to work every time, the USR 5610B internal 
PCI, or external serial modems - I haven't found an external serial that 
doesn't work, so far. I've had success with Trendnet, Zoom, and one other 
whose name escapes me. The USR 5610B internal modem is recognized natively by 
FC4 - no need to even install the USR linux driver any more, which had a 
couple of weird issues, though they worked.
