Most thinkpads do have a built-in HSF (controller-less) V92 modem as an
optional item you can ask while customizing it. I am not sure of the X300
or X61, but the T61 really should have it.
Network is acting funny here, or I'd go to lenovo.com and custon-build a
X61, T61 and X300 to check.
I do know the T60 and T43 did have modems. My T43 has one, works with the
Linuxant drivers (yes, binary only. I rarely use it, but the driver works
well enough for emergencies, and the modem does V92 and Class 2 Fax
properly).

They do exist. Google, as you said, isn't perfect.
V92 modems are the kind of stuff that makes more sense to exist in a USB or
ExpressCard form factor nowadays, though.
