AFAIK, there are PCI modems that work under Linux with no special configuration. See
http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~comech/tools/PCImodems.html for more information.
According to the documentation there, it is possible that your modem is Linux
compatable (a real modem as oposed to a software modem).
Best of luck!
