Did you try running pppconfig?

Now it is possible that on a modern mac the modem is a software modem
(aka winmodem style), but I really have no idea.

The ibook3 apparently uses a conexant software modem chip, which works
OK with the appropriate non free drivers installed.

Perhaps output of lspci would help identify the modem.
