US Robotics sells a USB to 25pin serial port cable just for their modems
as well.

As for dialup networking in reference to your ISP....
Ubuntu has a program in its repository called 'Gnome PPP.'
It claims to be able to support dialup networking support, but I haven't
used a dialup networking tool in years.
Hope that helps.
