You may as well give up on the idea of getting a working internal
modem.  *Nobody* uses real hardware modems in laptops anymore.  It
just doesn't happen.

Ignoring the fact that a lot of the winmodems have binary-only drivers
for Linux (so you could probably get it working anyway), a PCMCIA real
modem isn't terribly expensive.  Just assume you'll have to spend a
few bucks (<$50, IIRC) on one.
