If by internal, you mean winmodem (as are commonly found in laptops), then you will have a very difficult time finding drivers. I suspect the reason for this is that Lucent designed most of them and they designed it specifically for Windows, which make writing open source drivers for them a royal pain.
I took the external modem route and saved myself a lot of aggravation. Almost all of them are Linux compatible (even if they don't say they are).

ACPIWMI(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ACPIWMI(4)
NAME
acpiwmi -- Windows Management Instrumentation support for ACPI
SYNOPSIS
acpiwmi* at acpi?
acpiwmibus* at acpiwmi?
wmidell* at acpiwmibus?
wmieeepc* at acpiwmibus?
wmihp* at acpiwmibus?
wmimsi* at acpiwmibus?
DESCRIPTION
The acpiwmi device driver provides an ACPI interface for Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). The ACPI WMI interface is typically used
to support vendor specific features found in various laptops.
The following WMI mappings are supported:
wmidell Dell laptops
wmieeepc Some models of Asus Eee PC
wmihp Hewlett-Packard laptops
wmimsi MSI laptops
The functionality varies from vendor to vendor. Typically the interface is used for function and hotkey handling, but additional features
may be present.

Microsoft Corporation, Windows Instrumentation: WMI and ACPI, http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/pnppwr/wmi/wmi-acpi.mspx, December 4,
2001.
HISTORY
The acpiwmi device driver appeared in NetBSD 6.0.
AUTHORS
Jukka Ruohonen <jruohonen@iki.fi> wrote acpiwmi and most of the mappings.
CAVEATS
While WMI should provide a certain degree of portability across laptop models from a particular vendor, there is no guarantee that the map-
pings are functional in all models.
The wmihp driver may conflict with hpqlb(4).
