Linux driver

You need the "martian-modem" driver.  Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at:

   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/

Always use the most up-to-date driver for kernels after 2.6.20, currently martian-full-20080625.tar.gz.  For kernels 2.6.20 and less, use martian-full-20080407.tar.gz.

Before downloading the source tarball and compiling it yourself, check with your distribution.  They may already have it packaged for you.  Look for package names beginning with "martian-modem".
