The ATI0..7 commands usually give some indication. On my 33.6kb/s modem
I get the following:

ATI
336

ATI4
Simplemodem 336 V1.510.00	<- Brand and model

ATI6
RC288DPi Rev 05BA		<- this is the Rockwell chipset

If it lists the standards then you can also tell:

V.21	300		Bell 103
V.23	1200/75		
V.22	1200		Bell 212A
V.22bis	2400
V.32	9600
V.34	28800 and 33600
V.90	56000

Yes, they are supersets of data only modems.
