Don't ask here. Most of us are using high speed Internet. Figure out
what software your going to use for dialup, like netzero ect. and ask
them what to use. They have todays experience.

External serial modems are about your best bet.

US Robotics, ironically the creators of WinModems, now sell a USB modem
that they specifically advertise as Linux compatible... costs 2x as much
as a cheap modem, but still very affordable.

My brother uses SupraExpress 56K external modems to transfer data all
around the world. His company has several remote stations that are
unmanned. They seem to work quite well, even when temps in the
enclosure are hitting over 160 degrees F

I don't know how compatible they are with Linux, though.

Good luck with that. Karl's as incorrigible as they come.
