WinModems are just that Windows Modems. They rely on processor to do the work. To my knowledge, there are no drivers for any winmodems for Linux.

You can pickup a Linux compatible PCI modem for under $50.00 U.S.

If you have a spare PCI slot, just drop one of those bad boys in and you are set. Else, get an external device (USB or RS232) for a bit more.
