Is such a modem supported by Linux? Is it a hardware modem or an internal win 
modem?

Definitely a winmodem, and mdk has mistakenly identified it. My agere's modem 
behaves just like yours when I used the wrong driver (although resources that 
I found on google insisted that it was the right driver.. strange).

You'd better check on linmodems.org and download the scanmodem program to see 
the exact specification of your modem, and then you can ask the mailing list. 
They have a great discussion about winmodem, I found my agere driver from it.

May be a Winmodem.  http://start.at/modem and see if you can find your 
modem and chipset.

follow the link from http://www.linmodems.org to the "scanModem tool", which 
you can download and install to see if you might have a supported chipset.  
If it finds the chip, it will tell you which driver you need.
