Another factor to consider is that there's a class of user that prefers
external modems (easier to reset without rebooting, easier to move from
system to system, leds to tell you what's happening, LCDs on the better
ones to tell you speed and other status info). I don't think an external
softmodem is currently available/possible. For these people, winmodem
kernel support is irrelevant.
