Hi Aram The Ubuntu/Gnome modem handling sucks. It requires sudo each time and it does NOT know when the modem gets disconnected. Talk about a Human Machine Interface that doesn't have a clue. Fortunately Ubuntu installs wvdial so there is a real modem handler laying around. I abandoned the internal modems a long time ago in favor of a serial connected cheapie.
You see, many of the internal modems are not really complete modems, they are more like a telephone to PC hardware interface. These kinds of devices require software in the PC to do the real modem work -- thus the notion that they need a driver. Check out www.linmodems.org and also search for linmodem. There is software available that will probe for the specific chip. I got one of these to work for a while but had to compile for it. Then lightning ate it!
