What kind of modem is it?
(HSP56 MR) this is a onboard modem
I'll bet $5.00 it is a Winmodem and winmodems don't work under anything but windows. You will need a new modem that is HARDWARE CONTROLLED. You can find PCI modems that are hardware controlled, but it's easier to configure if you get an external omdem that attatches to the serial port.
VeeDubb is right it is a winmodem but there may be hope - (some of them actually work under Linux amazingly enough). You can check here:

And (if you want to do a hard drive install) this driver just might work:

I think you guys are right. Im looking for another modem.

I forgot I have two more modems. 1 is actiontec 56k external I use for my lap. #2 is intel pci fax modem still in the box. any hope 1 of these might work?
I have to admit it irks me when I see replies that say you can't use Winmodems in Linux.
I've been using them since I started learning Linux two years ago with Peanut ( a great distro by the way ). It's true that Winmodems are a PIA but they will work fine w/ a bit of effort.
I'm using Kurumin right now & it was great to find Carlos added the LT modem drivers to it and I believe he has more in the latest iso. One thing I found with Knoppix 3.1 was that I could'nt build the drivers for the HCF Linmodem, there's a problem with the GCC listed in /proc/version and changing the makefile to point to it made no difference.
My point is the drivers are out there and it's usually nothing more then building from the source, same as everything else I install.
