You are mixing concepts here. Internal dial-up modems are this way, they contain little more than a D to A & A to D chip and expect software to do the work. For High Speed broadband use like we are talking of here this is not the case. Still, there are lots of issues about these devices having secrets that their makers do not reveal and only being supported in Windows. In the case of a USB high speed modem I would not even want one if I was only using Windows. They are simply to be avoided.
