what modem do you own? Lots of drivers for software modems are available at
www.linuxant.com or else at linmodems.org
if you own a (hayes compatible) hardware modem you don't need drivers at all.

Under linux you won't need any drivers if you buy a hayes
compatible hardware modem.
Mine is an e-tech external hardware modem ( www.e-tech.nu),
I just had to connect it to the serial port, it was recognized directly,
and it has worked perfectly ever since.
Don't bother with software modems unless you really have to!
