I think it's a combination of both. Nobody wanted to go through the trouble of getting the specs, then trying to figure out how to address low level hardware for it when it's simpler to spend an extra $30 or so for a real modem. I remeber talking to a Linux guy about it, he was really excited by the prospect at the time. About three or four weeks later he had given up on it, 'Way to much trouble to even begin it,' he said.
