It's more than just one chip missing...more like 2/3 of the modem. This drives the price down. Also the power requirements which is why virtually all laptops come with them.
For a rarely used modem, it may be ok. But if it's your primary connection you may want a real modem even if you get it working.
Winmodem makers are starting to see value in cooperating with the Linux community because then they can sell more modems. The keyword to put into a search engine is Linmodem. You will get lots of hits. Here is one:

gsm0710muxd
GSM0710MUXD(8) System Manager's Manual GSM0710MUXD(8)
NAME
gsm0710muxd - a gsm 07.10 muxer
SYNOPSIS
gsm0710muxd [options]
DESCRIPTION
A gsm muxer is needed to keep a ppp/gprs up & running while sms and calls are still signaled on another channel. Some modems even support
using gprs while a call is active, others suspend gprs during calls.
The muxer supports various options to change the behaviour for different modems. Use -h to see a brief help screen.
All logging is done through syslog, see the syslog for errors and warnings.
COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
-d Fork, get a daemon (default: no)
-v Verboser logging (give twice for even more verbose)
-s <serial port name>
Serial port device to connect to (default: /dev/modem)
-t <timeout>
reset modem after this number of seconds of silence (default: 0)
-P <pin-code>
PIN code to unlock SIM (default: <not set>). This is normally not needed but some modems need the pin before enabling the muxer mode.
-p <number>
use ping and reset modem after this number of unanswered pings (default: 0)
-l <filename>
set logfile name (default: <not set>)
-x <dir>
power managment base dir (default: <not set>)
-a <mode>
additional_functionality (default: 0). This is a bit-set enabling quirks for different modem. The quirks are: WAKEUP_WITH_SYSFS = 1,
WAKEUP_WITH_SEQUENCE = 2, SIEMENS_C35 = 4, ENFORA = 8, SHORT_INIT = 16.
-b <baudrate>
muxer-mode baudrate (default: 115200)
-B <baudrate>
serial port baudrate (default: 115200)
-m <mode>
Mode (basic, advanced) (default: advanced)
-f <framsize>
Frame size (default: 64)
-h Show a help message and display current settings.
HISTORY
The name 'gsm0710muxd' was choosen because the gsm specs describe this method in document 7.10.
BUGS
/LIMITATIONS
gsm0710muxd There may accure bufferoverruns and thus missing data between muxer and client under certain situations.
Some settings could be determined by a AT-command at startup. This wouldn't be much reliable because modems often lie so i did not invest
to much work in this.
