Any external modem that connects to the computer via a serial port will
work.
     

Unfortunately not true! Bought a Creative modem some time ago. This
didn't work. There really are modems that do not work with linux (at
least it isn't easy to set them up). Now I use my very old modem
again :)
   

I agree with you, I tried a winmodem, after a few difficulties it worked
very slowly, I tried a US ROBOTIC 33 ... wich did not work.
 

This "winmodem"? It was an external device that connects to the serial 
port? I was not aware of any external, serial-port-connecting, "winmodems".
