If your  modem is internal, as Jim says it is probably a winmodem.  In that 
case, these links will be helpful:

http://linmodems.org/ - how to identify your modem, search the database, get 
your driver and install it.

http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html - more winmodem info and a 
database, but also includes info about pci modems that are in fact hardware 
modems.
