Considering you make no mention of what type of modem you have, then HOW can
one help you, at this stage all one can say is, if it is a so called "winmodem"
you are possably out of luck as a lot of those "so called" modems do not
(properly) work under anything other than windows.
Other than that all one can say is read the Modem-HOWTO, i cant even tell you
where to look for it on your system as you were so kind not even to have told
us which distro you are using let alone what kernel you have installed.
You will need to be more spesific,
1) type/make and model of modem
2) distro you have installed and its version number, ie, redhat-7.1
3) Which kernel, the command uname -a will tell you.
4) The details of the modem under windows, ie from its properties window.
This answer may seem negative, but considering the information supplied i can
think of no better answer.
