The correct answer is maybe and maybe, respectively. If the USB modem is a "real" modem, it will likely work. If the WinModem uses the Lucent or IBM DSP, it should work with extra software. I can't find the pointer to the page where the FreeBSD Lucent software is located, but work is in progress to get it into the base configuration. (This is tricky because it includes a binary module from Lucent.) The IBM mWave modem driver is in /ports/comms/mwavem, although the port was broken last week.
