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.
