Have a look at card and try and spot a 'chipset'. Any of the chips that have
words on them, whack them in google and if anything returns with a reference
to modems, voila!
Usually winmodems don't have jack on them, since most processing is done
software side. My guess is if there are jumpers and *lots* of chips, its
most likely not a winmodem.
if you can find a FCC number, there are sites out there that will tell you
the company that made it from the FCC number (cant remember it off the top
of my head.)

Subject: [SLUG] PCI internal Modem?
Sluggers,
I've been given a PCI internal modem and I was wondering if there is
any obvious way to tell if it is a real modem or a dreaded win-modem.
(like, before I stick in my linux box and give myself endless grief
for no good reason ;-)
It has lots of chips all over it, jumpers to set the com port and an
Austel approval sticker, but I figure that's doesn't a modem make.
What should I be looking for? Oh yeah, made in Taiwan with no brand
name what so ever.
Cheers
Pete
