If it's an ISA modem, it's quite possible it is a regular hardware
modem (I have an ISA sportster 56k and it works fine).

You're on the right track. Figure out which serial port the modem is
on (/dev/ttyS[0-4]), an then run pppconfig. Turn on debugging, so if
there's a problem you can report the output of /var/log/ppp.log and
possibly /var/log/ppp-connect-errors.
