The 5610 is a hardware modem.  It WILL work.  If you are using kppp (not 
installed by default anymore--you will need to urpmi it) you can test all 
your "tty".  I think you will find it on one of them.  Then you will need to 
link you /dev/modem to that serial port.

The relevant /etc/fstab line for my CD-RW is:

none /mnt/cdrom supermount 
dev=/dev/scd0,fs=udf:iso9660,rw,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0

And, if you use lilo, your /etc/lilo.conf file should contain, in the append 
line, a reference to the cdrw (in my case hdc) being scsi emulated.  Note 
that I don't use 10.0, and I have heard that scsi emulation is no longer used 
with 10.0--anyone, is this correct?:

append="noapic devfs=mount splash=silent hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht"
