Victor, A USB modem which uses the open source Linux drivers should be fine. A quick test is that: $ sudo wvdiaconf should find the modem. The problem is that many "in the box" modems will not report which chipset is used. And a while a Conexant USB may be specified as Linux compatible, the Linux drivers from LINUXANT.com and Agere/LSI USB modem drivers are no longer being updated. So be sure to get a modem you can return if it does not function under Linux. I cannot recommend any particular one.
