Congratulations. You chose an appropriate modem that should work fine with DSL or any other operating system. (Serial attached, on-board controller.) Specs support Linux Linux Compatibile
The /dev thing pertained to a Winmodem (yuck!). Now that you have an external serial modem, you should be set. There are no instructions in the Wiki, unfortunately, but see this thread -- Setup
I'd suggest setting up the modem in Windows first, making notes (ISP's DNS Server(s), domain, account/user name, dial-up numbers). That way, you'll be sure of your hardware before doing the DSL setup and have the required config info. Go to the DSL Control Panel, click Dialup and you should be OK.
You'll probably like GRUB better than Lilo. Much better choice.
