Well, I don't go quite that far. My wife does have a
Win'95 machine, but it's not connected to the internet
right now, and I don't plan on getting her online until
I get a dedicated firewall in place (won the bid on a P133
on ebay - $16.50 + $20 s+h which I'm waiting on)

I know almost nothing of PCI modems, but the fact that
it lists a Rockwell serial controller would seem to
indicate a hardware modem??? Then again, the lack of an
I/O address doesn't bode well. Here's my ethernet card:
Bus 0, device 9, function 0:
Ethernet controller: LiteOn LNE100TX (rev 32).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable.
IRQ 11.
Master Capable. Latency=64.
I/O at 0xe800 [0xe801].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xea000000 [0xea000000].
You might try 'lspci -vv' to see what additional info
you can glean.

With ISA modems, you need to set a link from /dev/modem
to the actual device (say /dev/ttyS1) It seems that you
would still have to set that link for a PCI modem, but I
doubt that 'modemtool' is PCI aware. I really don't know
what device your PCI modem would be defined as either.

With the additional info from lspci -vv, you may
be able to find something at http://www.linmodems.org/
to confirm your winmodem suspicions.
