 Softmodem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Winmodems have earned a certain notoriety for slowing down their computer systems and for having buggy drivers, although this reputation was largely garnered during the period of their introduction to the mass-market, whereupon they were oft to use substandard drivers, and be found in entry-level computers with slow CPUs.
More commonly however, winmodem drivers are usually enhanced in regards to their performance and to eliminate possible software bugs.

 Winmodems are not modems; Linux information page
For some winmodems, such as the 3Com/US Robotics Winmodems, this software is only available for Microsoft Windows.
First, a winmodem lacks parts found in regular modems-- these parts are "emulated" by software running on your CPU.
The developers at linmodems.org have coined the term Linmodem to describe a winmodem that can be used with Linux with a commercial or open-source driver.

If you buy a winmodem, also make sure you know that whenever you connect or disconnect it will lock up your computer for a few seconds, so don't be playing games or burning CD's while you do that.
Winmodems do not work in any other OS other than Windows 9X (As of this writing, OEM models still do not work in Windows 2000)
Since they have less parts, they often are only about 1.5" high (fits in FLEX-ATX cases), and of course they do not work in real mode DOS, Linux, BeOS, or any other OS.

 But That's Just My Opinion. I Could Be Wrong.
Details: By definition, a winmodem is one that requires MS-Windows "engine" software to function, because it lacks otherwise-required circuitry.
(Newer ones are PCI, about which see the winmodem section, below.) ISA PnP has never worked well, and in pre-2.4 kernel versions requires manual configuration in Linux (using the isapnptools package).
Do "lspci -vv" and "lspci -n", while logged in as the root user, to list all PCI devices in hopes of identifying your PCI winmodem chipset, if that's what you have.
