i can personally vouch for the external metricom modems working.  very
well, i might add.

i got one in the middle of last december, plugged it in, configured
ppp, and there ya go.  the usb stuff worked fine (modulo the
occasional crash, which has more or less been replaced with needing to
just unplugging the thing in between dials).  the serial stuff works
well too, although the bandwidth is not as...er...wide.  usb is
routinely giving me up to around 25 kilobytes per second.  yes,
kilobytes.
