Ahhh there is another Acer Travelmate in NZ!!!

I had the same problem - the internal modem is a Pctel derivitive,
specifically (from lspci)

  Intel Corporation|PCTEL 2304 WT V.92 MDC Modem [COMMUNICATION_MODEM]

I tried various drivers for it from the Pctel website as well as a variety
of other places but could not get the device to play at all (I'm using
Mandrake 10.0) and finally gave up and shelled out for a PCMCIA cardbus
modem.

I'm convinced the *98 I spent at DSE for an XH1145 was a far better
solution to the hours and days I spent trying to make the internal one
work.

Cheers

John
