[SATLUG] Serial dial up modem recommendations? PLEASE???

[CHERYL HOLMES]

Hi.
I am a total newbie to Linux, running Ubuntu 7.1 (Gutsey Gibbons) on my PC and on my Mom's.  I have DSL so I have had no issues at all so for connecting to the net.  Mom, on the other hand has...because DSL isn't available where she lives and only dial up service is.

I know I need a serial, NON WINMODEM but I can't find any.  Do any of you have any suggestions/recommendations for this type of modem, where I can buy one and about how much they cost please?  I don't want to have to switch her back to a Win O/S.  I hope someone here will be able to help me with this.  When I say I am a newbie, I mean a dumb as doornails novice without a clue whatsoever.  Is there a serial linux dial up modem that will work right out of the box?

I appreciate your help with this.  
Kindly,
Cheryl
