Conexant HSF (softmodem) driver
This package contains generic Linux drivers for the Conexant (formerly Rockwell) Softmodem HSF modem family, which are used by many modem and computer system manufacturers. They should work on most current Linux distributions, based on the 2.4.x kernels. A Pentium processor with the MMX enhancements is required. Some systems may require kernel recompilation with special ACPI patches. Preemptible kernels are not yet supported.

Using Debian for PowerPC this semi-closed-source is not useful at all for me. Another intel-centric driver.
It has a price
One change that was not mentioned is that there is now a price tag of 14.95$ to go beyond 14400bps.
