Bob, whatever happened to getting lspci output to determine what this 
thing is?  I seriously doubt that the modem could be dead only in Linux. 
  Now whether its supported is another story, however until you get 
lspci, no one here has any clue what you've got there.

As for recommendations, the only modem i've used in the past 4 years is 
a PCMCIA modem in a laptop when i'm traveling.  Thankfully, I have DSL 
at home.
