Supposedly SOME Lucent chipset Winmodems can work, check the archives for the

Will Linux pick up the modem automatically on startup?

As I understand it, winmodems are not supported. NOT AT ALL!!!, go get a
external 3com USRobotics V.90 and you will never regret it.

[newbie] Win Modems Again!

[R J Booysen]

I suppose people cringe when they hear about 
problems with win modems, but I need help desperatley. I want to convert fully 
over to Linux, but I need my modem up and running first.  Whenever I try 
and connect I get a modem busy signal.  Even when I change the device from 
the /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS2 it still doesn't work
 
Suggestions?
Thanks
