Only modems that rely on the windoze api instead of built in hardware to do the
job, ie. "winmodems" aren't linux compatible. AFAIK all winmodems are
internal modems but all internal internal modems are definitely not
winmodems. I have an internal modem that works fine with linux. There are
even a few fixes for some winmodems but check here to see if your modem is
compatible first:
