An external modem has a far better chance of working with Linux than
any internal modem of any kind ever will. Your particular internal
modem may or may not work depending on what chipset it's using. And
even if you are lucky (which I think you are), the driver will not be
easy to install. Best advice really, is to buy a Real Modem, an
external modem which plugs into one of your serial ports directly. No
drivers to worry about, no hassles, one of the few devices that really
works plug and play literally.

I doubt that you'll be able to install it by plugging the CD in the
way you did with Windows. The "driver for linux" on the disc probably
consists of a single text file that will give you instructions on what
drivers to compile into your kernel to get it to work!
I remember seeing this approach on, yes, the diskettes that came with
yes, the CNET 10/100 fast ethernet cards we got for our Internet cafe
last year. They're not hard at all to get working with Linux.
