I believe the reason you modem isn't working is that it is a winmodem.
During the past couple of years modem manufacturers began producing modems
that lacked dedicated processors and instead relied on the computers cpu to
do all of the processing. Unfortunatly, these bastardized modems are very
hard to provide support for in Linux. I've been stung a couple of times
(even with windows support) because quite often these modems come from small
manufacturers that are just hoping and praying to ge their company off of the
ground.
