PCI modems

I would suggest http://www.linmodems.org/

They should have a list of modems that work with Linux.

An onboard controller?  What does that have to do with a modem?
Linmodems.org do cover some Winmodems, but Winmodems are just that....
Windows modems.  There not designed for anything but Windows, and
personally they suck.  Everytime they become active, they momentarily
freeze the computer as they grab the IRQ & query the CPU for attention.

If I were you, I'd stick with good old ISA.  I think I have a 14.4 you can
have if you don't care about speed.  I still prefer my old 33.6 ISA on
COM1, IRQ 4 :)
