I'd echo the same thing everyone else does, but would add one piece of information I haven't seen yet: The reason a Winmodem is unlikely to work is because all of the logic to make it work isn't in the hardware; part of it is in the Windows drivers that are created for the device, and Windows is the only platform they tend to be created for (hence the name "Winmodem"). The external USR should work fine, just plug it in and address it through the COM port - no additional driver should be necessary.
