Here is the contents of ModemData file.
Would be grateful if you sent me further instructions on installing modem.
Thanks!

Welcome to SUSE LINUX 10.0 (i586) - Kernel
Linux version 2.6.13-15-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)) #1 Tue Sep 13 14:56:15 UTC 2005
scanModem update of: 2007_March_15
USB modem not detected by lsusb
Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:
PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name
---------- --------- --------- --------------
00:0b.0 1057:5600 1436:0300 Communication controller: Motorola SM56 PCI Modem
Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
5: 2100 XT-PIC VIA8233A
--- Bootup diagnositcs for card in PCI slot 00:0b.0 ----
=== Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
=== Next deducing cogent software ===
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 00:0b.0
Class 0780: 1057:5600 Communication controller: Motorola SM56 PCI Modem
Primary PCI_id 1057:5600
Support type needed or chipset: Motorola
Vendor=1057 is Motorola with some service provided through
vendor=11d4 Analog Devices Inc. Drivers are available for VERY FEW 2.4.n kernels
http://www.motorola.com/softmodem/driver.htm
and for 2.6.n only a Fedora 2.6.9-1.667 at
http://www.linux-xp-brasil.com.br/sm56-06.09.05-1-fc3-2.6.9-1.667.i686.rpm
A driver is NOT available for this kernel 2.6.13-15-default.
Motorola seems to be only providing source code to some equipment mnaufacturers,
who may provide particular compiled Linux drivers with their products.
See details in Motorola.txt

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udevdb
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.0.2 and a compiler is not installed
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.0 kernel-source-2.6.13-15-default
Checking pppd properties:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 279704 2005-09-09 19:29 /usr/sbin/pppd
In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html
To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.
