USB Modem support

[Brad du Plessis]

How do I find out before I go and buy a usb modem that its going to be 
detected as a umodem or a ugen device. I assume when its detected as a ugen 
then the modem is some type of usb winmodem and its not going to work under 
bsd.  Are usb modems with CAPI support always winmodems?

Thanks
 Brad
