RE: PPP PCI client ??

Has this been done already and is there a chipset for the
modems that are more "favoured" that others?

The Linux-kernel folks get this question pretty often.  As far as anyone can
tell, all of the PCI internal modems use weird proprietary serial ports or
are proprietary Winmodem-type devices.  Until specs are released or
reverse-engineered (many have tried), and someone goes to the trouble of
writing kernel drivers, no go.  But if someone does it on x86-PCI (most
likely platform), it should adapt to PPC-PCI.  And if it looks like a modem,
PPP will use it.
