Ha!  Another Conexant USB modem...

Anyhow, can you recommend an internal modem that works with Linux

I have had success with many different intel-based software modems, as well
as Lucent.   The problem is that their drivers are not free-libre software.
However, their linux-drivers have always been available, and I don't see
that changing in the way it di for Conexant, who's drivers were once
free-beer.
