Which Live CD/DVD do you currently have? I think the linux when running does try to detect and configure all the devices by default. I think you can try by using some small live linux such as Slax. If your modem is of reputed brand then it will have little problem auto detecting it.

use ubuntu, and here is the Detail guide with screenshots to setup dailup connection for it.

btwn dont expect Internal modems(windows modems) to work for u in Linux.it is least supported.external modems are the real modems.
