Beginner..please help

Alright...I'm totally new to Linux, and am trying to get my modem setup.  I
had a winmodem, but realised that wouldn't work, so plugged in my old
SupraExpress 336i Sp (ASVD) modem.  First of all, will modem work?  From
what I've tried it hasn't.  2nd of all, I read I should download ISAPNPTOOLS
to get this ISA PNP Modem working.  I'm not a big programmer, so don't know
how to compile this stuff.  After I download it, how do I install it?
Please help me.  Thanks!
