Yes, I spent a long time finding a PCI non-winmodem for my freeBSD box.
Once I plugged in all the correct information, it works just fine, looking
like
a 16550A to the OS.  It was quite a bit more expensive than the winmodems
that I was looking at it.  3com/USRobotics.  I had to remember (actually
looked up)
how to read the PCI bios entries to find out how to configure the serial port.

No, I didn't use plug and play, it didn't make sense to.

Eventually, I'll figure out hot to get it to do fax as well as login :-)
when it becomes important...
