I may be wrong here, but I've heard that if it's a PCI modem it's a
winmodem - because traditionally serial ports hang off the ISA bus, and
even with Pentium mainboards (and newer) even though the ports are
on-board, they are physically connected to the ISA bus - and there is no
standard (yet) for serial ports on the PCI bus, so Linux does not know
where to look.
