No, Frank, it's not.  That is an ancient obsolete version that IBM still posts
on its website.  You're on the right trail, though, you just need the current
version.

See Thomas Hood's extensive website on the Thinkpad 600 & 600X

     http://panopticon.csustan.edu/thood/tp600lnx.htm

and scroll down to the "Modem" section.  There you'll see a link next to my name
which yields my step-by-step instructions on installing the drivers for the
Lucent LTModem.  Yours is a different Thinkpad model but has the same modem
inside, as I understand it.

The only problem you might have is that it's not compatible with the very latest
GCC version 3.2 compiler.  Unless your distro is very recent, you're probably
OK.  That issue has been discussed here and maybe someone can help if you've got
GCC 3.2.
