Most "winmodems" have drivers available for Linux. I think they're
even standardized, I just can't remember the name of the standard.

Winmodems are just modems that do all the complicated signal
processing in software. There exist daemons on Linux which will handle
this.

If you want something that's not a winmodem, then what you're looking
for is a serial modem; I wouldn't trust an old 'hardware' modem PCI
device.
