I have no idea.  Who even looks at a modem these days?  I would be
surprised if it wasn't a winmodem, although it could be one of the ones
for which there does exist drivers (although binary only generally).  No
idea.  I have no idea what modem is in my wife's laptop either which
also has great linux support.  Maybe its modem isn't supported either.
