I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that has a Conexant softmodem in it.

Took about two hours yesterday to find that www.linuxant.com  has the drivers 
for $19.95.   Installed and works like a charm.     You can also use the 
driver for free but it will only do  14400 baud.  Maybe that's good enough 
for you.
