What do you mean "works lots better"? My system works fine with a
dial-up modem, I just had to make sure not to get one of those winmodems
to work with it. I use a US Robotics "Performance Pro" modem, it was
autodetected by SuSE (which has special braille-screen features on install
from what I understand) and worked fine after a "/dev/MAKEDEV ttyS4" for
Debian 3.0 (The one thing that's tricky about it is that it wants COM5:)
Almost any standard external modem will work as well. (And not require
any ttyS4 port shenanighans.)
