Well, ultimatly you'll have the most success using an external modem. In the past I've always had good results with the 3Com/USRobotics Sportster. As for the protocols, the 'two' protocols of K56Flex and x2 have been depreciated with v.90 and its successor v.92. Most new modems for sale now at minimum will support v.90... As far as I know the enhancments to v.92 are not exactly available for linux (correct me if im wrong). If its an internal modem you absolutly must have, make sure that its is NOT a windows based modem (aka winmodem).
