I make them myself using FTDI chips, usually, and they talk plain
RS-232 using terminal emulators and such:

I also get a lot of eval boards with usb-serial chips on them.
They're plain serial ports, but they're not modems.
IMHO the assumption that "every serial port might be a modem" is the
wrong assumption these days.
I use arduinos in my rare spare time, the are not modems, but they use
serial ports.
I think the majority of devices the use "serial" ports in the
"makers"
era are definitely not modems. Probably worth not consider them as such
by default unless explicitly configured in network settings.
Simo.
