next time, instead of loging in to the "X-session, just open a term (in
KDE, the "K gear, (like M$ start) terminals, Konsole, superuser mode).
it is much more secure.

OK,,, the important parts about your modem are this,
Bus 0, device 11, function 0:
Communication controller: PCI device 8086:1040 (Intel Corp.) (rev
0).
IRQ 11.
Master Capable. Latency=32.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xee000000 [0xee3fffff].
Well this looks to me to be one of the worst winmodems, one on a amr.
my suggestion at this point is if you value your time at minimum wage,
then go buy an external hardware modem. check e-bay. if you have
determined that no matter what you intend to make this PITA work
http://www.linmodems.org is your next stop.
