You've a serial modem, so it should run under Linux even if it doesn't 
appear in my favourite (and the only one that I know) 
modem-compatibility list available at: http://start.at/modem
I think you should try with wvdial (believe me, it's not difficoult), 
you only have to write in a shell:
wvdialconf default
this will ask you for ISP number, username etc.
At the end you should try to connect with:
wvdial default
Then, If it runs and you don't want to use command line every time you 
connect, just use a little script. Write in a file:
#!/bin/sh
wvdial default
after this, allow file execution: right click on the file > proprieties 
or, If you prefer ( :-) ):
chmod filename 711
If it's all OK you could connect only with a double click on this 
file... I hope...
