[ubuntu-in] Suggestions for an external modem that works with a USB - Serial Interface

[ramnarayan.k at gmail.com]

Hi

Having given up on making a winmodem work i am looking for an external
modem that would work under Linux (Ubuntu).

One feature / catch is that my machine has no serial port so i request
suggestions for a usb to serial modem .

Would really appreciate it if someone knows from first hand a working
device.

thanks
