try using isapnp (there is tons of mail on the subject) to configure you modem.
If that desn't work, see if there is a way to disbale the pnp feature.
As far as using the same software for linux as you do for Win95, people are
working are windows emulators (such as wine), but I don't know how good they are
or how up to date. It would kind defeat the purpose of using linux if you just
run a windows emulator.
If the modem is diailing and handshake, I would suggest looking through the
mailing list's past mailings as many of these problems have been solved over and
over.
