The modem works for me using the binary driver from Lucent.

I've also tested the OSS driver (from kernel 2.4.2-ac16) and the ALSA 
drivers. The sound is really noisy under the OSS driver and also under the 
0.9 ALSA version. Under 0.5 ALSA drivers it works more or less (not 
perfectly). And when the modem turns on, the sound is more noisy.

Mine is using IRQ 11 (under 2.4.2-ac16).
