If you get answers like the one you describe that's really bad and sad.
Unfortunately I have no answer for a suitable modem - they are mostly Win modems, but can be made to work anyhow
My time is limited so I can't dive into this, but I have seen solutions for 56k modems
My advice is for you to google the modem + linux and see what you get
Compatible Modems for 56k Dialup?

This probably isn't an answer you want, but for me, it was much easier to simply get an external serial modem and avoid all of the problems with internal winmodems.

Yes come to think of that when I was at work (not the least computer related 
)
It's also safer - it's easy to pull the plug if something bad starts creeping into your system

Thanks for an insight into modems and kind words.
At the last screen of your install you find a sum up of what you've done
In the bottom right corner is the "Advanced" button
Click it and you can select where you want to put grub.
A bug (?) in Ubiquity makes it possible to enter /dev/sdx,x as well as a normal "grubbish" notation, like (hd0,3)
In such a case you have to chainload that grub form something in MBR of course
This is not true, but the possibility is hiddenthe installation process only allows GRUB to be installed on MBR and not the partition.
