Thanks for this useful link. I changed the modem, 
I take a 56 k Data Fax Modem  Diamond ...
Unfortunatly it doesn't work either. 
But on the link I read that such modem needs the kernel 2.2.x 
However I booted with the kernel 2.4.18. 
I rebooted with the kernel 2.2.18 and miraculously the internal modem works.
(I have not understood everything ... ;-))

Many thanks to all for help.
