If the modem you have worked under an earlier version of Linux, then it'll
still work, providing it's not broken (zapped by lightening or something).
Will it work from DOS/Win?

From DOS you should be able to find the COM port assignments using the MSD
utiltiy. In Win9x, it's in Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager ->
Modem.

If it's a PNP device, it may not be the same when you boot Linux.

Hope this helps,
