The most common way is to replace it with a real modem.  Sorry, but you
probably have a winmodem which will run only with Windoze software.  To
be sure, find the FCC id number on the modem or its documentation, then
have a look at

http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html

If you can't find the FCC id, have a look at the list of PCI devices
found:

  cat /proc/pci | less

That won't give you an FCC id, but it may display the parentage of the
device.

If it is a winmodem, before you give up, have a look at
