It is not possible to set your modem up for linux, the reason being is that
it is a software modem designed for use with windows!!! In theory it is not
a modem at all just a card with a connection to a phone line the software
does the rest, these modems are usually called WINmodems. To allow linux to
recognise a modem it must be either a Hardware modem (preferably ISA, as
they are easier to set up) or an external.
I know its a pain but the software modems are a cheap option and you will
notice the improvement in performance as it isn't relying on the PC to do
the work it's doing it itself.
Hope this helps
Good Luck
