Hello again ...I did ( as you told me Rick ) an "lsusb" and at the entry
for my modem I think I had different ids of the product and the vendor :
Device Descriptor:
bLength 18
bDescriptorType 1
bcdUSB 1.00
bDeviceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class
bDeviceSubClass 255 Vendor Specific Subclass
bDeviceProtocol 255 Vendor Specific Protocol
bMaxPacketSize0 64
idVendor 0x0baf
idProduct 0x00ec
bcdDevice 0.01
iManufacturer 1 U.S. Robotics
iProduct 2 U.S. Robotics 56K Faxmodem USB
iSerial 3 USBHCF00000006
bNumConfigurations 1
Configuration Descriptor:
bLength 9
bDescriptorType 2
wTotalLength 74
bNumInterfaces 1
bConfigurationValue 1
iConfiguration 4
bmAttributes 0xa0

Interface Descriptor:
bLength 9
bDescriptorType 4
bInterfaceNumber 0
bAlternateSetting 0
bNumEndpoints 8
bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class

So, what do you think ?

You might find a driver for it, but it appears to be a Conexant chipset.
Those are not supported.
Do an "lsusb" command and look at the output (ignore any "timeout"
messages that pop up). Find the entry for your modem and see if the
"idVendor" number is 0x0572 and the "idProduct" is "0x1232", "0x1233" or
"0x1234". If it is, you're out of luck as Conexant hasn't released a
driver for it and apparently no one has gotten enough info from them to
write one themselves.
Sorry about that. As I said, go buy a modem that plugs into the serial
port. First, it'll be compatible with ANYTHING (windows, Linux, BSD,
Macs) and second, it'll be faster than a winmodem is (since winmodems
depend on the CPU of your machine to do a lot of the work rather than
doing it themselves).
