It could be anything, if you put it like that.

Is the modem perhaps a "winmodem" or "softmodem"?  Then forget about
using it in linux.  It won't work, get a real modem instead.

These winmodems are a crock.  Intel loves them, because you need a 
fast processor.  It saves the modem manufacturer a few cents on 
component costs, and requires you to spend considerably more money
on a faster processor.  You lose.  The international-conspiracy-of-
marketeers-to-sell-people-shit-and-get-away-with-it won again.
