This is a common problem. This modem is a winmodem, designed to work in windows only.
However, opinions will fly here, but the easiest thing to do is buy the modem drivers from Linuxant (14.95). You can find the references here. Click on the drivers tab on the top and choose Conexant.
You can try out the driver first (if yours is supported) first, which will run at 33bps, but if they work, it is worth the saved frustration in trying to get it working. Once you pay, the enhanced drivers run at the full speed possible, given your phone line connections (copper vs. fiber between you and the switch station).
Check out the modem test first to make sure the laptop will support it. Often, laptops will have "combo cards", which means that the modem is integrated with another device, such as a NIC.
