Pilots for winmodems are not very numerous, and have to be fit to the 
kernel. So you might find a pilot, and have to downgrade to the great 
great grand-father of your actual kernel to make it function more or 
less bad ;)
That's for my research with a HP laptop 3 or 4 years old.

Another way is to by a PCMCIA card, among the few you'll be sure, after 
a fast research, that it will be recognised (but I don't have experience 
with it). The last way (what I do) is to connect through a gateway on a 
LAN with one cable.
Then I configure with ipmasq on the gateway and 'route add default 
gateway' on the client. (and add the needed IP on the /etc/resolv.conf).
Hum. I have a 56k connexion only. Some connexions like DHCP better, 
although it is mostly fit for many computers.

Another way is connect with an external serial modem/or router if large 
band connexion, if your machine has a serial port/whatever else can go, 
I don't know anything about large band,  on it (mine on 56k does not 
have a serial output :/)
Best greetings, Joyce Markoll.
