Had a similar problem with my Computer City housebrand PC. I think the
same manufacturer (GVC of Taiwan) makes the Aptiva modem using the
Lucent chipset. (Side note - I was frustrated to no end by the helpful
folks at Computer City who INSISTED that Lucent made the modem.... There
is NO MENTION of modem boards on Lucent's web site, only modem
transformers and other components.) 
I ended up getting the driver from the HP web site (HP Vectras use teh
same modem also). Once I installed the driver and restarted, Windows
"Found new Hardware" and did the rest. Speeds now at 42k or 46K, which
is all I could hope for. I would suspect IBM has the driver on their
site but if not, get it from HP.
NOTE much credit to the "high speed" support and discussion groups on
AOL, many of whom were struggling with the same thing.
