We're running 10.04.4, and if the solution is to use the disk for recovery, at what point should the disk engage - when the boot choice is made in GRUB?

Hello,

This sounds like a software-related issue. You might try upgrading to a newer release, and see if that works. It might sound strange now, but sometimes simply upgrading to a newer release works. It may also be that drivers are not installed for your modem. You might try either upgrading to a newer Ubuntu release, maybe newer Ubuntu releases either support your modem or automatically install them, or you could try manually searching for drivers online, and installing them that way. Either way you do it, you will still need to upgrade Ubuntu after support is dropped for 10.04.
