Nick,
Done! Of course, if I was using the same machine here I could just
copy and paste the results... but can't, so I'll type it. It shows the
modem! :) See below, amidst your message...

Perhaps this is not so. But thats the reason i didn't worry about
drivers.
So...vatsala if you want tofind out more about the modem go to a
terminal window and type:
sudo lspci
this will list items on the pci bus. one of them will be the modem. this
is what my server looks like (it doesn't have a modem so you won't find
one in this list)
00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8375 [KM266/KL266] Host Bridge
00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8633 [Apollo Pro266 AGP]
00:10.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1
Controller (rev 80)
00:10.1 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1

00:10.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1

74)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]
Results are as follows...
"0000:00:02.6 Modem: Silicon Integrated Systems [SIS] AC'97 Modem Controller
(rev a0)"
now you need to figure out the number that corresponds to the modem
device. in my case we will find out some more info about the ethernet
controller, adapt it to your circumstances:
sudo lspci -vn -s 00:12.0
the output will be something like this:
00:12.0 Class 0200: 1106:3065 (rev 74)
Subsystem: 1106:0102
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11
I/O ports at e400 [size=256]
Memory at ee001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
(the first two lines of output are the ones we really want.
Results are as follows...
"lspci: -f: Invalid slot number"
Seems there's a problem there...
...figure
internet connection sharing on your windows box and an ethernet network
between winbox and ubuntubox.
Yes, I should figure/configure this @ some stage... but do plan to make it a
"Linux box"... hopefully. Yes, patience... ;)
Hoping this finds all well.
