I just went from xp 64 to a dual boot system with xp 64 and ubuntu 64 and i'll probably be getting vista home premium or ultimate around january-ish. my old dial up modem is conexant based and i decided to find a modem compatable with all three operating systems rather than buy the linuxant driver for my modem under linux. what i found was an Actiontec analog router (a router with a 56k v.92 modem built in) had it set up in xp 64 in 2 minutes and ubuntu 64 found the connection and set it up automatically. so if your stuck on dial-up and need to access the internet with multiple computers or operating systems you might want to check it out. best 50 bucks i've spent this year.
