Unhappy Making a PCMCIA Modem work


I just bought a Lightspeed PCMCIA modem - it's new out of the box, but has probably been on the shelf a while because it mentions a 1997 review on the box!
Anyway.......
RH8 Kernel 2.4.18-19 sees it and calls it 'ttyS1'
Bearing in mind I'm a super newbie (running gnome btw) could anyone please tell me the steps I could take to try and make it works as my modem - because at the moment I don't know how. There of course is no linux driver with it (XP finds it and races away, I'm using it right now), and after a search at the lightspeed Taiwan site - they only have drivers for Windows.
I also looked about the forum but couldn't really glean anything that I could really understand.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
