Grep-ing for 'modem' in ports/*/*/pkg-descr seems to reveal just 
comms/ib-kmod as providing support for modem hardware.  Given that it's 
just the one manufacturer, and modem use is falling away with increased 
broadband penetration, I would not mind if the entry just went away.
(But then, I was the one advocating for removing PLIP/SLIP from the 
handbook ...)
