I might still have an old external 3Com serial modem that worked in Red Hat 6+...you might be able to find a similar one on Ebay at a good price. You can't expect most PCI modems to work. Dialup is pretty Stone Age though. It is hard for me to imagine someone would be willing to give up a phone line to a dialup connection any longer, when there are cheap DSL and cable choices available.
