Check out Mdmchk.pl from Carvdawg. It currently checks NT machines but can
probably be modified to check *nix machines. Personally, I don't know how
to check a *nix box remotely for a modem. This should be a good starting
place.

Mdmchk.pl
This script checks remote NT machines for the existence of a modem driver.
This is particularly useful in determining if a workstation has a modem
installed.
