...And if it is indeed a WinModem that you are SOL.
They are completely incompatible with Linux....

This is not technically completely correct.  There are a couple of programs 
out there that enable the software modems undr Linux.  Then only problem 
with them is...1) they eat so much processing power it bogs the machine 
2)they are a royal pain in the behind to config
Possibly, eventually, someone will come up with a way to efficiently add a 
winmodem to Linux.  (IMHO hardware modems will ALWAYS be much better)....USR 
all the way!
