Acoustic couplers are connected via serial line and behave like modems. There is no driver for them, i.e. no OS support. It all has to be done by the application, e.g. 'minicom'. However AFAIK the slowest speed setting under Linux (for the PC-hardware?) is 300 baud, so, no, no Linux support there. Also there will be no other sides for this slow a speed. Your hardware is several decades too old.
