Possibly better than nothing -- or possibly not.
Typically winmodems generate huge flurries of hardware interrupts, which
you might not even realise until the day you disable or remove it and
get noticeably lower system load. Or the modem will kinda-sorta work,
but omit data compression or error-correction, or have wretched
line-noise rejection.
