modem port on laptop

[Christian Casimir]

Right... thank you all for your answers... Too bad for me... Let me ask 
a last (stupid, I think) question :

Would using a Windows emulator (Wine/Crossover) and installing the 
Windows driver for the 3Com MiniPCI 56k Winmodem under the emulator be a 
way out ? Or is it just not possible ? My aim is to get rid of Windows 
on my laptop and use Ubuntu exclusively. But I can't do without this 
modem (everywhere I go I cannot find an ethernet connection).
