Yeah, you most likely won't be able to use your Winmodem.

The word processor, media player, desktop themes (and window managers!), and countless others should be included with the installation disks. Plus, you can always download other if you have certain preferrences (like Sun's Star Office).

It will come with everything you need to partition/install/dual-boot, but since a partition change will generally render the current data on the disk unusable, you should backup, then install each OS, then restore your previous file/settings to the other OS.
A good alternative to this would be to buy another hard drive... you don't have to worry about backing up/restoring the other operating system.

And in my own humble opinion, you should test your new system by playing xbill! (Yeah, yeah - cliche I know, but fun!)
