Great news, It is usable on Linux but not working perfectly so far.
Ideas, troubles etc : See forum :
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amilo
Francesco Angelo Medagli made it works
with smlink 2.7.10 driver and kppp
(software mod) &
Stefan Langer said that it was necessary to set software Xon/Xoff in kppp.

While
Its win XP Driver is Identified as :
Agere Systems AC'97 Modem , LT Supplier.
Does that mean that the chipset is a lucent one ?
or Intel ? (non rockwell nor connexan)
It might be WINmodem and belong to the AMR family (Maybe Ali 1535p AMR ?)

It's FCCID may be 5RJFB00BAMI IA-92
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/
Actually This PCI id belong to the Controler , Not the AC Link modem.
ac97-modem may tell what chipset is behind.
But I was not able to download their sources (ac97_modem.c) ...
http://www.compuvative.com/ac97-modem/
I am confused because some users told me it works
using the connexant's hsf driver
while the one which seems to be near to work is the smlink's one.
I suppose that's because those same PCI Ids reflect that this is the same controller
but not the same chipset inside ? how to know what is it ?
Anyway, Error may come from Serial port.

# Subject: Identifying AMR modems and recommending drivers # From: Marvin Stodolsky # Date: Sat, 03 Aug 2002 15:59:35 -0500 For motherboards with Audio Modem Riser (AMR) slots there is NOT a direct correlation between the PCI_IDs in the following Table and the modem hardware inserted in the AMR slot. The MOulation and DEModulation conversions necessary for MODEM use over phone lines are managed by a distinct Audio Card with an ac97.o modular driver. The remaining communication functions are managed by the modem card in the AMR slot, which could be made by several modem manufacturers and needs additional drivers. The PCI_ID == VendorID:DeviceID representing the AMR slot reflects a combination of the core logic chipset and the AC-97 Codec of the audio driver. A SubSystem ID represents the AMR modem card, which could be from any of several manufacturers. The current AMR slot IDs are displayed below, with sadly, the current ambiguities concerning support under Linux. Vendor PCI_IDs ALI 10B9:5450 10B9:5457 ...http://linmodems.org/

Said from a HP laptop owner
"The integrated modem does, in fact, work under Linux
-- but only apparently when the trident module is NOT loaded first.
Once its loaded it seems to steal the sound generation
from the Linmodem driver, which results in you getting
a "NO DIALTONE" message when trying to dial."

4. Where can I find drivers for the Intel 537?
Reference drivers for this modem chipset are not available
for end-users and are for use by OEM developers only.
To obtain drivers for your modem please contact
your modem manufacturer or point of sale.

Latest drivers for Intel 537 modems (aka. AMI-IA92 PCI Modems)
are now v2.1.26.36 instead of 1.6.14.86.
The ami-ia92 modem drivers are found here:

These drivers also worked good for the Intel 537 modem
I have. I had some trouble getting the drivers at the
