what modem

For dial-up modems (commonly called "56k") external modems will usually all work if they use the serial port (there may be some USB ones out there, which you should avoid). As far as internal modems go, you can always look at http://linmodems.org which has a nice tool to get many of them working. However, internal modems take longer to set up than external (external ones don't need ANY setting up, usually just tell the dialler to use /dev/ttyS0 [your first serial port]) and even when they do work, they may lack functionality (I used a SmartLink modem which could not detect when the connection dropped, so it could not automatically redial)
As far as Broadband modems go, there are two options. An ethernet (network) "modem", which is actually a router with a modem inside, or a USB modem. Ethernet routers should work fine in Ubuntu, just set them up like any other network connection (usually using DHCP). USB modems can be trickier. You can see if there is help for a specific modem on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem

Basically, if you want to use dialup then get an external serial modem. If you want to use broadband then get an ethernet router. If you are stuck with an internal dialup, or USB broadband, modem then those pages should help you. Remember that there are a few such devices which currently have no support in Linuix systems.

I would only guess that such a situation would occur when changing the CDs, but that happened months ago when it was changed to 6.06. If your request still hasn't been accepted and you don't know why then maybe find someone to email about it (not me, I just help around the place). Also, if you close this request if you are satisfied with an answer and open new questions in new requests then you will probably get more response (because people will only be looking at the name of the request)
