Looking for help about LinModem to install, Not Retrieved for my IBM Thinkpad T21 with 9.3 !?

Hello dear Linux and Suse, users or experts,      
 
 
I have an IBM Thinkpad T21 on which I have installed Suse Linux 9.3, and  
unlucky, there was a winmodem installed on combined with an ethernet connection. 
 
When it was only under Windows, that seems to be ok. 
Now, it's not the same thing. 
 
When I go out of my home and have to connect me on Internet through a basic  
or standard phone line ... I need that there was a running modem or LinModem  
to surf above Internet and retrieve informations or mails outside !     
 
That is very important for me. 
 
Have you already meet a similar issue or matter, or did you know what to do  
in that case !? 
 
 
Thanks a lot for any help and advices ...      
 
 
PS : I have made some investigations resumed below
