External modems do not need drivers. That's why they are so useful under
Linux: you just plug them to a serial port and it works.

Just for the record, there are a lot of newer modems out there that are
external, but still not "real" modems, but Winmodems. Serial modems
are always real modems, but USB modems are often (usually?) Winmodems.
So anything that plugs into a serial port will be a real, hardware
modem, but you'll need to be careful with USB modems.
