Andrew,

I have never had a reason to use internal modems in Linux so don't know 
much about them however if you go to the web site below you should be 
able to find out more about how they work with linux and what is 
supported etc.

http://linmodems.org/

Also in the unix world internal modems are often refered to as 
winmodems. The reason for this is that they tend to require software to 
do certain operations instead of the hardware supporting it and when 
windows was the only system that had the software they got the nick name 
winmodems or that is how I tend to remember the internal modem story 
however it could be some what different.

Kind Regards,
