    If it's a PCI device, it almost certainly _is_ a winmodem, and Linux'
recognizing it as a PCI device in no way counters this probability.  There
are a few exceptions (though even those, IIRC, don't have Linux drivers),
but the vast majority of PCI "modems" are software-based, not
hardware-based.
