Virtually any modem with an Hayes (AT) command set will work with
Linux for data communications.  The complexities come when you try to
do voice or fax as well, but if you're only looking to spend around
$80 you won't be looking for a voice-capable modem.  Avoid WinModems
like the plague, of course.
