First thing to do is to look at the actual specs on your modem - the
chipset might be PCTEL, but there might be another controlling chip on
board - either which, there are many drivers (3d party) that you might
be able to give a go at - one place to check would be at: 
http://www.linmodems.org/

You might not be able to locate a Mandrake specific package (RPM), but
you might be able to get some source code to compile - which can be
tricky, but most integrated modems - either Rockwell or PCTel can be
made to work - and sometimes made to work better under linux than under
Windows.

See what kind of specs you can dig up on the modem, check the site
above, get all the possible details together that you can, then see
where we can go from there!

Cheers!
