Your options seem to be:
* Yell at Dell for selling you a laptop with poor Linux support.
* Replace the modem card in your laptop with a
better-supported one. This is possible on some IBM Thinkpads, at least.
My wife's X20 came with a 3Com 56K minipci paperweight that I swapped out
for a supported Lucent modem. I don't know if this is possible on
your Dell.
* Pay Linuxant their fee.
* Use the crippled drivers Linuxant provides for free and live with it.
* Use a PCMCIA modem.
