USB Modem for Hyper-V?

I see an option in Hyper-V to connect a standard COM port to the VM. I assume if I put a standard modem into the Hyper-V host I could use that modem from the VM. Seems pretty straightforward. Instead of installing a modem into an expansion slot or connecting to the RS232 port I'd prefer to use a USB modem on the Hyper-V host. Can this be done? I see the option on the VM settings to use named pipes to the host or another machine. If this can be done, how would I set it up? Would I need a specifc type modem?
