I think I have to agree with both Steve and Mike here. While it doesn't make sense to put 'A $50 modem in a $200 computer ...' as Steve put it, (I have a good zoom modem that cost me $110 about 6 months ago...) , it also doesn't make sense to encourage companies to make underpowered, crippled parts. What needs to be done is convince companies that we want their hardware, high quality modems - but at a more reasonable price. If we encourage manufacturers to make us subpar hardware for linux, where is that going to leave us in 5 or 10 years?...
