Mudka See http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg01830.htmlfor details on some advice on a free driver. But before following that guidance you must setup compiling supportRead the section of your ModemData.txt beginning: if compiling a modem driver proves to be necessary If possible, first update to a current Ubuntu release like Feisty, forallover better capabilities.
