You have a winmodem.
Currently the only winmodem supported in DSL is Lucent.
I have in the past created PCTEL winmodem modules.

Some are freely available, some not so.
You would have to compile your particular driver, have someone else compile a driver for you using our 2.4.31 kernel sources, or
buy a real modem.

If it is an External modem, then it is not a Winmodem.
