Right. Get a good quality external modem, and you will be fine. Any standard external modem will work with Linux...it is often easier to get one of these than to try to find an internal that works properly. If you must have internal, you should look for one that does
not use "HSP" or Host Signal Processing. Also check
http://www.linmodems.org/ for Winmodems that are beginning to be supported under Linux.

TERM(1) General Commands Manual TERM(1)
NAME
term - turn PC into a dumb terminal [IBM]
SYNOPSIS
term [baudrate] [parity] [bits_per_character] [-dial_string] [device]
EXAMPLES
term 2400 # Talk to modem at 2400 baud
term 1200 7 even # 1200 baud, 7 bits/char, even parity
term 8 9600 /dev/tty01
# 9600 baud, 8 bits/char, no parity, use tty01
term -atdt12345 /dev/tty01
# Start with a command to dial out
DESCRIPTION
Term allows MINIX to talk to a terminal or modem over RS232 port 1. The program first sets the baudrate, parity and character length, and
then forks. The parent sits in a loop copying from stdin (usually the console's keyboard), to the terminal or modem (/dev/tty00). The
child sits in a loop copying from the terminal or modem (/dev/tty00) to standard output. Thus when RS232 port 1 is connected to a modem,
every keystroke typed on the keyboard is sent to the modem, and every character arriving from the modem is displayed. Standard input and
output may be redirected, to provide a primitive file transfer program, with no checking. Any argument that starts with a minus ('-') is
sent out to the modem, usually to dial out. Term accepts several commands that are formed by typing the escape character, CTRL-], and a
letter. Type CTRL-]? to see a list of commands. The subshell command is very important, it allows you to type in a ZMODEM command to
transfer data. Do not quit term to do this, or your modem line will be reset! Term keeps the modem line open on file descriptor 9 while
running the subshell, so you can type
<&9 >&9
at the end of your ZMODEM command to connect it to the modem.
Important note: to use term, it is essential that /etc/ttytab is configured so that there is no shell hanging on /dev/tty01. If there is,
both the shell and term will try to read from /dev/tty01, and nothing will work.
