Most cheap modems are  winmodems. These are modems that offload a lot of the 
signal processing from hardware into drivers.  The drivers are typically 
windows only, hence the name winmodems.

I understand there has been a lot of progress in making winmodems work under 
Linux (see <http://linmodems.org>; ), but things are a lot easier if you use a 
proper hardware modem.
