Unless I'm missing something, he's probably talking about a Winmodem, which 
work great under Windows, but can become a life-sucker trying to get working 
in Linux. My advice to him would be, if he's trying to dialup anything with 
Linux, that he get an external serial modem, if that's one of the things he's 
seeking help with.
