Winmodems seems like a very limited topic to me.  PCI modems that aren't 
winmodems are such a rare event that a talk on how to spot or avoid 
winmodems would either be really simple or really abstruse.  And 
non-winmodems (external modems and most ISA ones) are trivial to use 
under Linux.

How about learning to identify and configure network cards?  There's more 
scope there and I'd expect the uni machines to have nics in them.
