Hi,
Google searching is (still?) primitive.
I would like to know the answer to a simple question:
What are the most recent laptops that run Linux *and* have a working
analog (RJ-11) modem installed?
Listed by highest price first.

PS All the searching I have done lead me to believe that they don't
exist. But how do you prove that with Google?
I know you would rather not hear this, but I think, ultimately, a
compact USB modem will end up being your best bet.
Another option might be a wireless aircard, running in NDIS mode, if you
can find one with a Linux driver. You might get around that with a
router, there are a few that can use an aircard or USB wireless
broadband card or 3G phone with a USB port. I use the Kyocera KR2, it
works pretty well, as long as you don't go over the 5GB cap, and get
throttled. (If you let that happen, it's a bit of a nightmare to connect.)
