It would not work. Hardware drivers are always (99.9999% of the time) tied to the operating system in use. An internal modem needs a separate driver disk for Win9x, NT, Linux, Mac, etc. Buy an external real modem and it'll work with just about every computer on the market using pretty much just a serial driver (which comes with the operating system). WINE provides a set of high level API's for end-user applications to call. The reason that many programs don't work under WINE is usually due to the program using undocumented "features" of the Windows API, or in the case of DirectX, the WINE developers haven't written that module yet. I think WINE is a great idea, but I haven't had much success with it. I chose to run VMware or Win4Lin instead (which DO require a Windows license to function).
