John First: what type (brand and model) of modem is it? Second: what version of linux are you using?
There are a few types of modems out there that just dont work with linux, a few others that work after you do all sorts of painful and arcane stuff, and a lot that work without any trouble at all. One of the more common problems you can encounter is if you are using a softmodem (aka winmodem). These beasties require drivers tailored to the hardware to work. Some manufacturers have made drivers available, some have been puzzled out by third parties, and others just don't exist. To help people here answer your question, you need to give us some more info. My guess is that you have a winmodem, and some pretty specific searching will be needed to find out if this one will run under linux.
