Oh right, I never used the modem so it never concerned me.  IIRC, There are 
free drivers for the modem, but they will only connect at 14.4Kbps.  ISTR 
that Dell makes available a .deb (that is not freely redistributable, so not 
appropriate for non-free) on their drivers website that will let the modem 
run at the full 56Kbps.
