It is a Dell Dimension L550r (PIII 550mhz) It came with a winmodem installed (Which no longer works). I am looking to replace the modem with a linux compatible modem, But I am having a hard time finding anything online. Redhat recommends 100% hayes compatible w/ hardware UART. Can anyone recommend a good internal and/or external modem that would be compatible with Redhat and my computer? I am not sure which Version of Redhat I am going to try yet. Probably 9.2 personal or pro. I appreciate any input.
Thanks and Best Regards

hi,
    I would recommend any external modem.  Any external modem works fine with RH linux.  But if u want an economical modem, u can buy a D-link internal modem( Conexant ).  I am using this modem successfully on linux.  Moreover it is 30% the cost of an external modem.  Even HSP Dax modem also has worked under linux after downloading and installing a driver.
