Bad luck. There are only commercial drivers for connexant chip modemshmmm. You sure about that? I am pretty sure I had a rockwell/connexant running with an rpm from:
available, US$15.

http://www.heby.de/ltmodemYou can try at reduced speed (33k) before you buy. For $30-35, you can get a new modem card with lucent chip which has costless, but no opensource drivers. Installing the drivers will be a little hassle as you'll need to recompile/link them for your kernel.
has rpms for some lucent modems (the LT, and others), which are I think the bottom of the range el cheapo (i.e., the one i've got...). Double click and play. No recompile, no link, at least not that I have to do. Got both Redhat 9 and MDK 9.2 no worries. The modem cost me about $20-$25 from memory. So do NOT pay for a driver.
I have a sneaking suspicion that you have no desire to do any "crank your compiler"ing, visit the site above before anything else.
There are Intel 536EP chip modems too for the same price, driver installation and configuration of Linux etc is out of the box and fully automatic on SuSE 8.2, but I could not yet get the modem itself to talk to any ISP's dialup, probably because I haven't yet found the correct init strings for that modem. You will have this kind of problem potentially with any modem. The 536EP driver is also costless, but not opensource, if it's not out of the box for your, crank your compiler.
