Hi Ram,

Are you referring to the the 56 K modem cards. I guess there are a few
that does work with linux as reported in this page
http://tuxmobil.org/pcmcia_linux.html ( search in page for modem 56
k).

You can go for the Airtel/reliance/Tata indicom USB once if possible.
These work with linux.  I would suggest go for these USB since it will
be much faster that our plain old PSTN dial ups.

Reliance/ Tata Indicom USB once are available every where I guess. Not
sure though. I have seen them in their outlets in Bangalore.

Regards,
PD
