I looked an SmartLink has a couple that work. The was at least one that is a LinModem. LinModems are WinModems that there are Linux drivers available for.

The first page as a printable page for local stores in his "Rough Guide". It tells the modems not to buy and others that work. Almost all of the externals work. They have an advantage of being able to toggle power with out toggling the computer. The voice modems add a cost incremental that I don't have any use for.
