In SuSE 9.0 Pro, the ltmodem package is included and SuSE did detect the 
Lucent Chipset Winmodem in one of my systems.  It works fine.  If after 
the install of SuSE it isn't recognized, then go into YAST / Network 
Devices / Modem /   and configure the modem from there.   The ltmodem 
package is on the 4th CD or on the DVD in SuSE 9.0 and you may be 
prompted for it during the modem configuration, if it wasn't setup 
during install.

Other than that, I agree with aSe that http://www.linmodems.org is the 
place to go.  I've used that site for the last couple of years for 
multiple laptops running RedHat or Mandrake Linux distro's.
