Short answer:

	No.

Medium answer:

	WinModem (and other Win* hardware) is a really stupid idea:
	cripple the hardware to save a few manufacturing bucks.

Long answer:

	There is a project afoot that might make some models of
	WinModem work under Linux (and probably *BSD), but I
	wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it.
