A quick way to determine this is to look at the system requirements for
the card.  If it's a winmodem, the docs will (usually) indicate that you
need a Pentium processor (generally at least a 133) to support it.  A
real modem will work with much older hardware.

You still might be in luck, as there is support for some winmodems. 
I've had limited success with one in the past.  Check out the
