Dick Smith Electronics used to sell these Intel 536ep modems that came with GNU/Linux drivers; which are provided with source code drivers, however I am not sure if the drivers are licensed under a free software license. They sold for about $30 at the time. AFAIK there are zero (0) open source modem drivers, they're all binary blobs.
The only choice you get is zero-cost closed source like the Intel ones, or pay-for closed source like the Linuxant drivers.
