The most likely explanation is that your modem is a winmodem. This is a modem whose electronics have been stripped to the bare bones and the deficit made up with a Windows driver. Some winmodems have Linux drivers and many do not. When I faced this problem 3 years ago I threw away my winmodem and bought an external serial dialup modem which has never failed me.
