Here is a section of Linux MODEM HOW-TO

4.5.  Which Internal Modems are Best to Avoid ?

 7  ``Avoid: winmodems'' or the like.  They will NOT work at all

  7  ``PCI Modems'' seldom work under Linux

  7  ``MWave and DSP Modems'' might work, but only if you first start
     Windows/Dos each time you power on your PC

  7  Modems with ``RPI (Rockwell)'' drivers work but with reduced
     performance

It does not say that all the PCI modems will not work, but PCI modems
definitly are a problem
under Linux.
