an external serial modem is actually your best bet in terms of compatibility and
reliability. i've used several on linux servers for clients over the years,
never had a problem with one. i might have one or two lying around in a box
somewhere.
the other option is a dial-up router (like a broadband router but with a modem
wan interface instead of ethernet, does nat/dhcp). they're no longer made that
i know of, but i have an old 3com unit for emergency purposes.
