I do have a TravelMate with a Lucent WinModem myself. When I installed
Linux
on my ACER almost a year ago, I too had problems with the
ltmodem-utility.
Nevertheless the kernel-module 'ltmodem.o' provided by Lucent did (and
does!)
work without problems. You should take a look at 

http://www.linmodems.org/

if you have not done so already.

Hth,
