It's probably a WinModem. That's a little different to configure under Linux. Check out this website, see if it helps any:

Someone might already have set up your modem, and there could be some help here.

It's actually pretty tricky to get a Winmodem to work under linux. I have an Agere modem (Toshiba Software Modem), and I still didn't get it to work (mainly because I did not have a chance). I wish you luck in getting your's to work. linmodems is a good place to start as alc6379 suggested.
