I have used both Zoom and U.S. Robotics V.92 modems
with FreeBSD without problems. Both are external serial
modems (there are also external USB modems - I seem to
recall reading about some problems with these, but I don't
know if any such problems still exist; you may want to
look at Google).
No ISP I know of "supports" V.92 yet, so don't expect to
see any difference from V.90. Your guess is as good as
mine re how soon if ever V.92 will become widespread.
