In my past experience, if you install wvdial it works for many circumstances,
the "auto detect your modem" feature offered by wvdialconf is extremely
comforting.
If you have an LTmodem (as one model I was playing with did) then the
auto detect will work, once you have the ltmodem module properly loaded.
In our setup it decided it was ttyS14 and I had to create the /dev/modem
symlink pointing to that in order to make other things happy.

See linmodems.org for more details that you really wanted to know :)
To cut it down to the laptop typical stuff - lucent released binary
drivers which were crummy, the open world is working on our own. IBM
is fully supporting a project (*with* source) that gets their Mwave
softmodems working, but many thinkpads either have normal modems or none.
Look out for finding pcmcia modems that turn out to be winmodems too :(
