USB modem
   047e:2892 Agere Systems, Inc. (Lucent) Systems Soft Modem
Support type needed or chipset:    agrsm
But the Agere USB modems are not supportable after 2.6.24 kernels
because of licensing issues

But there may be a modem chip  on
Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia
    Primary device ID:  1002:4383
  Subsystem PCI_id  1179:ff0a
  Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics:
                             from    Archives: 0x11c11040

which might also  be serviceable if you do a  Intel/i386 installation,
rather than the your current 64 bit installation optimized for the
x86_64.

If you can do modem diagnostics under Microsoft, follow the directions
in SoftModem.txt
