If this PCI modem card deal is there, then I need two. Got two
almost-giveaway 300mHz AT boxes going out the door here this week.

It doesn't have to necessarily say Linux compatible on it (most
compatile ones actually don't) it just needs to be a hardware modem. I
am pretty sure you can find a good hardware modems for around $50,
although you might need to go online to find one at that price.
I think you said you only have PCI, but if you do have ISA, I know the
Office Max on diamond has several ISA 56k modems on clearance for $25.
(or maybe it was $15, i forget).
You may want to take a look at these pages if you haven't already. They
are a few years old, but it may still be relevent:
