I think your best bet would be to compile a list of ISPs that support Linux in the area first, then see if you can find out what modems they support.Oops. ISP's don't support modems - either the modem works and you'll connect, or it won't and you can't. ISP's only support the protocol over the phone line. True some of the big name ones used to make things difficult by requiring customised chatscripts but that's not the issue.
Funny.I did not interpret Julian's constructive comments in that way.I took it to mean:find out which modems are supplied by each ISP-e.g Speedtouch USB from OneTel. The term "not supported" basically means,whether it be modem or O.S.,if it goes wrong,you can't expect any assistance from the ISP. To that effect,a person connecting via OneTel with anything other than the Speedtouch supplied by them,will likely be told their modem is unsupported.
