It's a "softmodem" and will only work with EXTREME
prejudice in linux. It requires proprietary software which,
while it HAS been hacked together for some "WinModems" may
or may not have been hacked for your modem. About 95-98% of
all PCI modems are "WinModems" (TM 3com) which require
proprietary software.
To see if your modem has software for it, go to
www.linmodems.org.
If you want to avoid headaches, get rid of it and get a
REAL modem (most ISA modems and all serial-based externals
will work.)
