agere modems are a rebrand of lucents ones, just use the ltmodem driver and you'll be fine. just run "emerge ltmodem" to get them installed on gentoo

Some agere modems are supported and some are not. You may want to do an "lspci" to determine the exact model and find out if the ltmodem driver will work for you.

--Ben

EDIT: then you can read the documentation on the ltmodem driver to see how it is set up.
