I have an IVR which uses 5 Courier V. Everything (external modems) and 
runs under Vgetty. So, technically, there are no problems to use 
external modems. There are almost no chances, that those modems will 
work with asterisk out of the box, most likely some coding would be 
required. But, to be honest, i don't believe that internal modems works 
out of the box smoothly. So, some efforts would be required on both 
internal and external modems.
