Most probably it is a so-called winmodem. Simply spoken it is a castrated modem where some hardware functions has been moved into the driver (software) for unknown purposes. I suppose this way the manufacturer can make his hardware cheaper by one or two bucks. Because the manufacturer does not document his hardware it's very difficult to reverse engeneer the driver's functions and write drivers for linux. Have a look at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/ There you will find various documentation about winmodems. I doubt if you find a linux distro which supports a winmodem.
