[SATLUG] PCI modems for Linux

[Greg Willden]

Hi Tim,

When I was looking for one of these I was pointed to eBay.  I found a 
nice hardware modem for about $15 total and it works great in Linux. 

I just looked and there appear to be quite a few.  I just did a search 
for "Hardware PCI Modem".  Check the shipping rates.  Some people like 
to jack up the shipping costs to offset a low bid.
