I have had the opposite experience.  I have had great success with the so called WinModems :)  
The LinModems folks have been very kind and supportful[1].  Since about 2001-? to the present, I have had great success with Intel 536 EP modem, Smartlink Modems, LT Modem, and/or pctel Modems.  I have a little space on the net dedicated to getting these WinModems going on several versions of Linux.  I have one page dedicated to Smartlink Modems on Fedora[3].

Candidate PCI devices with modem chips are:
00:09.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 536EP Data Fax Modem
00:0c.0 Communication controller: Agere Systems Lucent V.92 Data/Fax Modem
00:0d.0 Modem: Smart Link Ltd. SmartLink SmartPCI562 56K Modem (rev 04)
00:0e.0 Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem (rev 02)

For candidate card in slot 00:0e.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:
 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 00:0e.0	11c1:044e	1235:044e	Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem 

For candidate card in slot 00:0d.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:
 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 00:0d.0	163c:3052	163c:3052	Modem: Smart Link Ltd. SmartLink SmartPCI562 56K Modem 

For candidate card in slot 00:0c.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:
 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 00:0c.0	11c1:0620	11c1:0620	Communication controller: Agere Systems Lucent V.92 Data/Fax Modem

For candidate card in slot 00:09.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:
 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 00:09.0	8086:1040	8086:1000	Communication controller: Intel Corporation 536EP Data Fax Modem

All these modems are functional and working beautifully either with Fedora/Slax/Slackware which I use on my home systems.  

About the LexMark printers, I *do* stay away from those as those are difficult to deal with, but with some patience and help they might work^{YMMV}
