I have the same exact modem and it should *NOT* need a driver.
It is controller based, and it should work like an external
modem, even thought it is PCI. I had mine working under Suse
8.1 and Red Hat 7.0, but have not figured out how to get it
working under debian "woody". I just tried those other distro
before I was enlightened. I will be interested to follow this
thread also. I but the modem in a windows box and got the port
value, but every serial port I try I get "modem is busy". I
can see the modem under KDE -> control center -> information -
