I don't know for sure, but from the looks of things, it's probably a
Lucent WinModem. It might be an IBM mWave, but I don't think that they
are still using it in new models.

If it is a Lucent, the port of the LinModem code to FreeBSD might well
work, but until we get some reports of success or failure, there is no
way to know for sure.
