My understanding of VMWare is that it cannot see hardware that is not
available to the host operating system.

In other words, if you were running Win98 as the host, with Linux on top
via VMWare, then Linux would most likely see the modem.  If you were
running Linux as the host, with Win98 on top via VMWare, then I doubt
very much that ANYTHING would see it, Linux OR Windoze.
