dunno anything about your winmodem, but perhaps you should check out 
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Module-HOWTO/x158.html

it suggests, that the file you try to insmod is no module. try 
"objdump --full-contents --section=.modinfo ltmodem" to see more hints
about the file and the kernel version it was compiled for if it was a
module.

otherwise you should check if the running kernel in /boot/vmlinuz is the same 
that your module was compiled for (presumably from /usr/src/linux). perhaps you
should configure, compile and install the kernel from /usr/src/linux
first and then retry loading the module...
