Hi Duncan.

I'd suggest one of two options based on whether or not you're going expand 
more later.

Firstly, if  you're likely to want to connect more modems later I'd look at a 
serial port card.  You can get cards that support 2, 4, 8 or more serial 
ports from one card - make sure you get one that's Linux compatible.

Secondly, and much cheaper, if you're not likely to want more than 3 modems, 
go for a Linux compatible internal modem - either a full-blown traditional 
internal, or one of the later - cheaper - so-called win-modems. Again, make 
sure Linux supports it first.
