Sounds suspiciously like a Winmodem to me. Hardware modems are usually found immediately (query your modem in kppp after changing the setting from "/dev/modem" to /dev/ttyS0, then /dev/ttyS1, etc. If that doesn't work, consult http://www.linmodems.org for more information. If you do, indeed have a Winmodem (and you are running the 2.6 kernel), my advice is to buy an EXTERNAL SERIAL MODEM (about $25 on e-bay). Even with a supported Linmodem, kernel 2.6 drivers may be iffy, especially if you install a different kernel-version in the future. It ain't worth messing with. Winmodems are designed to use the system resources and require specific drivers to allow them to do so. External SERIAL modems are hardware-based, and stand-alone with no drivers needed. e
