That is strictly the Ethernet part of the card. I would expect the modem part of the card to appear as a serial port, and you would have to specify the serial port as part of the setup. If it is a hardware morem, then I would expect it at something like /dev/ttyS2 or /dev/ttyS4, but it depends on your hardware.
