I've had bad luck with Zoom plug-and-play modems (with Linux) in the past. However, others may have had better luck.
My favorite ''standard' modems are US Robotics and Hayes. When I use internal models, I never use plug-and-play and always use modems with hard-wired jumpers so I can set I/O port and IRQ with a jumper.
In fact, I have at least three plug-and-play modems in my computer toy-box that I never use.
BTW: Another possibility is to install a PCI PCMCIA adapter and install PCMCIA card services; adding a PCMCIA modem card. You can then experiment with all kinds of PCMCIA cards including different PCMCIA modem cards.
My network is cable modem based to the Internet and 11 MBPS wireless inside; all PCMCIA based (on laptops and on rack mount servers.)
