I have used many Linux distros going back to the mid 90's
Red hat, SuSE, and a few FreeBSD tests as well and for me the use of
external modems was for the most part a necessity. Multitech
(Mt5600series) was one of the best and still is, also I used external

This is obviously the COM1 or COM2 if external. If internal, the Linux

That's interesting, I did not know that.

This reaction is fairly typical when internal modems are mentioned in the
Linux world, a
I use a Multitech MT5634ZPX-PCI. It is not a WinModem - it is quality kit
with an on board controller, which is what an internal modem needs for
Linux.

Sufficiently ground, most internal modems will make some pretty horrible
coffee, but still better than they do a modem. Just get a plain old external
serial
