check out linmodem.  I got my modem working in my Compaq using that
project.  I downloaded the drivers and only get 14.4k.  That is the
highest speed you are allowed on the "free" version of the drivers.  I
think the paid version is $20 and you get up to 56k.

Even then it was just too flaky and the software modem does not like
talking to older devices with hardware modems.  I've abandon it and
have a very nice Multi-Tech USB ZDX.  I've not ran across a device I
can't talk to.  However, brand new this modem lists for $125.
