John,
I found an old PCMCIA fax modem! You are welcome to have it if it would work
for you. I got it after monkeying around endlessly trying to make An internal
modem, on a laptop, work under Linux. Of course, the internal modem was a
cheap-out, Win-modem. They were dependent upon software in Window$, hence, no
driver for Linux. I also have the modular phone connector needed to connect to
a phone line, not to mention a phone-line splitter.
I found some internal fax modems on eBay.
FWIW, I also found a PCMCIA ethernet card. I guess I just couldn't bring
myself to toss these little beauts, even tho I did toss an internal fax modem.
Anybody who can use either of these items? Just let me know. <ha!>Else I may
just have to auction them to the highest bidder on eBay </ha!>.

She’s on an old Windows machine, so an old internal (real) modem would be perfect. Otherwise, I’ll probably pick up one of these [1] as it’s about as small an external as I’m likely to find.
