Also, has any one used the daimond 'hardware' modem (sorry no other details known)?

Diamond's SupraExpress series work well with Linux and are often recommended. I personally wouldn't recommend them as Diamond's tech support really really really suck with their autoresponders and start quoting legal stuff at you as soon as they find out you want support for something other than the recommended spec on the box.
