http://www.linmodems.org
They are working on making winmodems to work under linux.
I heard some winmodems DO work under linux through linmodem driver

Also you should check out
http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html
It has a lot of info about which modems are winmodems and which are not.
>From the same site, they have a giant list of modems that work/not work
under linux http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/20000213a.html
