As others have mentioned, this is a standard serial modem, so you should
be able to plug it in to COM1 or COM2 and link /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS0
or /dev/ttyS1 respectively with the following command;
ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem
This isn't strictly necessary, but many dialling programs look at
/dev/modem by default.
As a further note, that I know from personal experience dealing with my
parents modem of this type, with the default ATZ init string, it
connects at only 33.6k. To activate the X2/V.90 protocols, you also need
a second init string. From /memory/ this is ATF1, or maybe AT&F1.
