mount -t msdos /dev/<your_partition_here> /mnt

For example, I have a ms-dos partiton on my first partition of my first IDE
drive, so I use
mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt

You can also add it to your fstab and it is automatically mounted when you
boot linux.  For your modem access in Linux, I suggest minicom.  It's a lot
like telix.
