I'm currently unable to use Ubuntu at home because I only have a dialup
connection there.  My modem does not work with Ubuntu, so I thought I'd
just buy a new one.  However anywhere I looked in a big IT/computer mall
I only found cheapo Winmodems. 

Do old fashioned modems still exist?  Would an Apple shop be a good
place to look?   Do un-winmodems exist that are USB, not Serial because
not all my computers even have serial ports anymore?
