I have had good luck with the Zoomtel Model 2975. Here is the relevant
entry from /etc/defaults/pccard.conf ... It is ~ 80 - 90 US dollars.
Hopefully, it is still available.
# Zoom 56K modem
# Freezes your system entirely if you don't have the reset..
card "Zoom Telephonics, Inc." "PCMCIA 56K LT DataFax"
config 0x1f "sio" ?
reset 1000
But whatever you do ... don't by the Model 3000 as this will probe
as a UART 16450 and then lock your machine solid :(
