Probably because fewer and fewer MoBos have ISA slots these days. And ISA 
detection is known to freeze installers.

Then, they graciously let you do it by yourself with the good'ole ISApnp 
tools.

>Modems (even Winmodems!!) can be installed on Linux.

For Winmodems under Linux, you can always test your luck at

http://www.linmodems.org

They have the resources about Winmodems running on Linux. If it isn't there, 
it ain't nowhere.

And also check IBM web, because they have somehow developed a "Linux driver" 
for the Winmodem shipped with their Txx laptops. So, part of the $1 billion 
went to winmodem porting. Cool


And Amazon going to Linux is a very Good Thing. Go RedHat!
