Yes, most are winmodems, but I KNOW that some modems are hardware
modems.  The walmart.com PC's are hardware modems, but they use
nonstandard IO and IRQ combinations.  I wrote a script that (for that
brand of modem) detects and configures the modem to work with Linux.
You could probably take that script and very easily modify it to work
with your modem.  It is not an official MandrakeSoft script, but it
works for the immediate need that we had.
