Many modems are Winmodems, that is, they are mostly made of Windows software that drives some basic audio hardware to create an analog modem. Linux runs hardware modems (like the Rockwell externals) with little to no problems, but needs special driver packages for the different winmodems. DSL has drivers for the Lucent brand of Winmodems, I believe, but I don't know about the others. Some distros probably do not have Winmodem support at all.
