A modem is a modulator-demodulator. as DSP-less "modem" does not
modulate, and does not demodulate, so can hardly be called a modem. This
is regardless of whether a driver for Linux or windows exists or not.

Of course the situation you describe, is indeed like a winmodem - a
compromise between price and performance. I think the trouble and
performance lose of an i810 chipset MB is not worth the price, so I have
another one. I also think that the troubles and performance lose of a
winmodem is not worth the price, so I want a real modem. The problem is
that unlike a MB, this is much harder to find.
