It does appear to be a hardware modem.
Check any and all floppies and CDs for Linux drivers - Linux is explicitly
supported on the web site, but doesn't give any easy to download the
drivers :( Contact their tech support.
Be prepared to upgrade your installation of Debian (particularly the
kernel you have installed). Debian 2.1 (which I assume you have
installed) is dead ancient, and doesn't support many pieces of common
hardware (such as PCI modems).

This is what I was looking for.

Most of those are devices directly connected to the motherboard - the
first device listed is your sound card.
