There's a linux driver for your 5610b modem there. I've used it successfully 
in the past but I have a memory of having to 'fool' around with it a little. 
Sorry I couldn't be more specific, but it's been a long time since I had to 
worry about a modem. But I've had your exact model running under earlier 
versions of Fedora. 

Good luck on getting that laptop modem to work, however. Try linmodem.org for 
ideas
