TODD, If you check InfoGeneral.txt Under Linux 2.6.n kernels, the chipset is NOT SUPPORTED . Read Modem/DOCs/InfoGeneral.txt about alternatives. There are some that may work with native serial driver(True Hardware Modems), there are also some USB modems, depends on what you can find and which one meets your price range?
