Your best bet (really) is to just get an external modem, and be done with
it.  I have a USR Courier V.everything external, and It works on anything
with a serial port.  I have plugged it into SGIs and Suns, as well as Macs
and PCs.  It's more expensive than the internal, but I don't think the
Courier internal is PCI yet, or if it even will be.  If they do make a
Courier internal PCI version, I seriously doubt it will be a LoseModem.
