Ditch it, get an external modem. Way less troublesome. If it's a winmodem (if it doesn't work if you don't have drivers specific to that model installed in Windows, it's a winmodem. Your modem is missing the components that basically make a modem a modem; it's basically just a sound card with a phone connection), you may be able to make it work (http://www.linmodems.org/) but be prepared for an uphill battle that won't be worth your time if you have a life. If you weren't informed that the modem you were sold was a piece of crap, inform your local BBB. Just get a plain external modem with a serial connection. Doesn't matter what brand AFAIK, they all work flawlessly in Linux. - -- .''`.
