Well, on my A20m with Debian I used a Dick Smith 56k PCMCIA card.    Dick 
Smith are usually just some other manufacture relabelled (for example the 
Dick Smith wifi card i'm using right now is just a TP-link 510G relabelled).    
Before that I was using a 33k Xircom, IIRC.    I'd say almost any PCMCIA 
modem should work OK.
