For the Mwave modem you need the mwave driver module.

These days, the mwave driver source is included in the kernel
source.  You do not need to build the module from the source
provided in IBM's tarball.

If you don't find the module in
   /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/mwave
then you should figure out how to build the module from
the kernel sources on your distro.

The LT modem is entirely different from the Mwave modem.
They require entirely different drivers.
