Which doesn't really say much; Windows talks to modems via a
(Windows-specific) software driver. The hardware can be completely
non-standard, as long as it comes with a suitable driver.

If the modem appears to be a UART, then it would work on any system,
hence it would be accurate to say that it isn't a WinModem.
If you have to talk to the modem by other means, then this basically
means that you need a specialised driver in order to use it. This is
generally what is meant by the term `WinModem', i.e. you can only use
it via the Windows driver which was supplied with the card.
