ICH is probably intel modem (Intel ICH4 chipset) this is probably a bug in linuxants recognition software. Winmodem are a pain to install, my first guess would be to try "slmodem" drivers... Then I think I remember there is some modem for HSF modem available, you might want to try...
Try searching http://linmodems.org. It's an horrible site, a real labyrinth with tons of out-dated information but it could give you some hints maybe.
Into initrd? Why would you want to do that? Initrd purpose is to load driver in RAM so they are available BEFORE the system boot. It's not a big deal if the modem is loaded a bit later, is it?
Just add slmodemd to runlevel scripts and it will loaded automatically. The procedure is rather simple but change depending your distribution, I suggest that you search your distribution documentation about "startup scripts" or similar.
