Good luck.  The inexpensive modems tend to be winmodems, which are not 
compatible with FreeBSD.

These days I'd say go with an external modem or find an ISA modem.  If you're 
determined to pay only $20, I'd try to find a used one.  Check with local 
computer companies that do a lot of upgrades.  They probably have boxes full 
of stuff they'll eventually throw away.
