the SO and I, both have 3com combo cards, i can highly recommend them,
single height work well under linux.  the only *really important* thing
about them, is make sure the modem is a hardware one.  3com sell many
many varieties of combo cards, some have software modem's som dont.  get
a list of the ones that work under linux and pop down to the computer
fairs on saturday with some asbestos gloves.  there's at least one
trader who sells them, and IIRC there less than a one'er.

Xircom ones are nice, but all the ones i've come accross are double
height.  which is fine if you can use it.  i cant.
