Andy,

Try looking at www.linmodems.org for your modem.  It's
a good starting point when trying to get a modem
working.  There are often detailed instructions on how
to get it going.  

Also, give google a try.  Search for your modem's name
and linux.  Might find some pages that way.

Good luck, and Happy Holidays,

John
