If it is mwave based then I believe that it would currently be
impossible.

Similar situation.

If IBM have produced the relevant details then someone could produce a
driver (this wouldn't be a trivial task).  It may be that IBM have the
driver done - obviously they would be the best source of information
in that respect.

There is some information here:
      http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.spack.org/docs/linux-mwave.html+mwave+dsp+linux+-modem-howto
about an approach to getting sound working under Linux, but the page
indicates that the modem isn't affected.
