seek and yee shall find... (eventually) "Hardware modems (including all external modems) don't really need any modem driver. But any software modem (winmodem, linmodem) must have a modem driver (if it exists for Linux). The serial port the modem resides on does need a driver and it's supplied either as a Linux serial module or compiled into the kernel. Any serial driver for a PCI Modem should install automatically since they are detected by system software." http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Modem-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.2
