Yes there is some of that at http://linmodems.org , also, some
vendors have released linux drivers, see
http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html .
That said, get a new (real) modem as soon as you can!

It should also be noted that alot of winmodems work only with
win95/98 and not with NT (just like a bunch of other hardware).
You would think they could get that straight, but no.
