That's a Winmodem, which means it has no modem functionality on it's own - it relies on a Windows VxD
to breathe life into it.  The short version is that Linux can't support Winmodems except for a few by
Lucent at this time (none of the chipset makers will release specs / sources / etc).  See more at
http://www.linmodems.org/.
