This rig is a Compaq 700EA  with no serial port, running RHEL3. I have
to modem :( It has a built-in *shitty* Conexant (or suchlike) HSFi
softmodem - I lived with that for =~ 18 months, then things went wrong
(new OS, new kernel, commercial driver needed).

It now has a Xircom "CreditCard GSM Modem 56-GlobalACCESS" PCMCIA
fax/data modem and works perfectly. In fact RHEL3's cardmgr assured that
it worked right out of the box on my next reboot). It cost €69,-
inclusive 20% tax, Hylafax software is free - I didn't get to have a Fax
with the HSFi softmodem.
