The modem is a Conexant controllerless modem; use the hcfusbmodem driver
from Linuxant. I personally haven't gotten it to work to my satisfaction
though (dials, connects, drops carrier on the first bulk data transfer
such as ssh key exchange).

You'll need a rather recent xserver-xfree86 package (the version
from testing should be fine), and a kernel with BenH's recent patches for
rivafb (2.4.23-ben1 works for me).
