Hello Dominik!
> I'm wonder if modem installed in my laptop (Sony Vaio PCG-FX215) is
If I'm not mistaken, the FX215 is the same as the FX301 in Europe
(Germany at least; Poland not as it seems). This is the on I own
myself.
For general information about Sony Vaios take a look on
http://myplc.com/sony/, and for notes on Linux

To be exact, it is a Conexant HSF Softmodem (AC97 based).

Just some days ago Marc Boucher made a new version of his HSF driver
available, which includes support for the HSF modem on Via AC97
controllers. I didnt't have time to check it out, but at least it
built on my machine.
Check out http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv/.

You could try the above mentioned driver.
Additionally, you definitely need the ppp and pppconfig packages.
pppconfig helps you with setting up the PPP connection to your
internet provider. I think it will not auto-detect your modem, as the
driver provides different device names (e.g. ttySHSF0) than standard
serial modems (e.g. ttyS0). When installing the driver, a symlink to
/dev/modem is also created, which you could give pppconfig as your
modem device.
This is all a bit ``hanging in the air'' as I didn't try it myself --
lack of time. But the next days I'll have more time and -- more
important -- will need a working connection via modem, too. So if
you're still in trouble a few days from now, feel free to contact me
again.
Hope that helps,
FJ
