Don't have media buttons on my model, though I do know that there is
software for getting those things working on most any keyboard that has
them.  What that software is, though, is a mystery to me.  I remember
seeing it like once... and it wasn't that important to me to make those
keys work when I had a keyboard that had them.

The modem should be supported by the sl-modem software.  It does seem
that lately, the sl-modem-drivers have fallen out of maintainership, but
someone will come around to maintain them again, I am sure.  At least on
my machine, I don't have to build the drivers; they are already in the
kernel.  I still hate WinModems, though.
