I managed to buy an internal PCI data/fax/voice modem a few years back.
It is a USRobotics. I have also seen external modems at Microcenter.
Some (most) use USB instead of serial. That works well with Linux now,
too. I had a USR USB DFV modem that I used as my answering machine with
VOCP (http://vocp.sourceforge.net/) until it got hit by lightning.
