I have the same modem and it works fine in both Linux and Windows.

Tell what Com port and Irq you are using.
Is the modem internal or external

Do You have a USB or serial mouse??

Be aware that Linux appears to assign the mouse regardless of it's
type to Com 1 (Dos/Windows) or /dev/ttyS0 (Linux).

As a result of this your modem should _NOT_ be assigned to /dev/modem
or /dev/ttyS0 - it will conflict with your mouse.

Cheers
