It would be almost impossible to get a winmodem to work under linux, since
there is no standard way to talk to them.
Unless it says it works with linux, almost no PCI modems work.  Only ISA
modems that don't say "winmodem" "software modem" "HCF modem" or anything
else to that extent will work, but don't expect them to say that they will
work for linux.  Any external modem will work except for "US Robotics
Winmodem" again, don't expect them to say that they will work for linux.
When you buy a modem make sure you can return it, just in case.

PS
I have a "Diamond Supra Express 56k" external.  I am very happy with it, it
is fast, I had no problems with set up, and it works with windoze well too.
The catch? It's almost $90.
