As the message clearly states, 32-bit CardBus cards are not supported
by FreeBSD V4. They will be supported by 5.0, but that is almost a
year away.

Most any 16-bit non-WinModem card will work. The key it to check on
whether the modem is supported on any system other than Windows
(e.g. DOS or OS/2). A quick check is to scan the list in
/etc/default/pccard.conf for sio devices. (It's a pretty long list.)
