I can't quote a low cost modem, but most any external should work as it 
will be a real modem.  I've had excellent luck with USR modems.  You can 
get the low end external for around $89.

You can also purchase a 'real' USR internal modem for around $79.  The 
nice thing about USR modems is that the boxes are very clearly marked 
when they are a winmodem, they call them a winmodem.

I good indicator the modem is a winmodem is the system requirements.  A 
real modem will work with a 286 and up.  Winmodems will require anywhere 
from a p133 on up.
