The statement *the Linux drivers for the TFM-###x are built into Linux* does not mean that these are special drivers! On the contrary, the standard serial driver in Linux supports your modem for the very good reason (I did not know before this mail that the chip inside comes from Agere) that TFM-###x + Agere means that it uses a chipset from the Venus family which includes a hardware controller and therefore does not need any special driver.
