I've never used this product, but check this out. It says it works without hassel with Linux, plug-and-play.

I've also had good luck using the Xircom 56k PCMCIA adapter.

You can check the box. I was at my local computer mall recently and i saw quite a number of software with the "linux-compatible" sign on it. Was really quite glad to see that.
