AFAIK, there are PCI modems that work under Linux with no special configuration. See http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~comech/tools/PCImodems.html for more information. According to the documentation there, it is possible that your modem is Linux compatable (a real modem as oposed to a software modem).
Best of luck!
