Careful, there ARE USB Winmodems (softmodems) around as well, usually with the Rockwell/Conexant HCF chip, or the Cirrus Logic (Ambient, then Intel) chip.
True hardware modems usually say on the box that they will work in DOS. If it doesn't, it's probably a winmodem.
99% of internal PCI modems are winmodems.
There are only a very few exceptions!
