I think the answer is any except winmodems. Not quite anything. USB modem support isn't in -stable yet. What's in -current only works with USB modems that support the ACM mode of CDC modems. And all of this is new enough that modem quirks aren't well-supported. In other words - only buy USB modems that someone else has reported working, unless you feel like working on the driver (and if you don't, why are you running -current :-).
