If you show output of 'lspci' it would give more information about your 
actual modem. The Model and the model type of your thinkpad would permit 
to find some  info too on the IBM site at 
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/ .

 I own an A21P type 2629-HSF and here is my lspci output (for the modem 
part):

0000:00:03.1 Serial controller: Xircom Mini-PCI V.90 56k Modem

This modem is supported by the 'ltmodem' driver.  It works very well on 
my TP.  I think you should have the same modem or a similar one.
On the site 'http://www.linux-thinkpad.org/links.html' they says that 
your modem should be a supported Lucent modem.

For Linmodem infoCheck at http://start.at/modem .

You will need the sources of your kernel and you'll have to compile it) 
and then compile and install the driver.  The Lucent README gives quite 
straightforward instruction on the install. And dont forget,  If you 
upgrade kernel version, you will have to recompile everything to keep 
your modem working ...
