It looks like the XF86_SVGA server (xserver-svga package) has support
for this chipset.

It's doubtful.  Keep in mind that a winmodem is basically a tiny
little bit of heavily nonstandardized hardware dependent on some
heavily proprietary software with arcane operating system demands that 
Windows happens to be able to fulfil; you're much better off trying to 
get a real modem.

CM> or cable modem for that matter?

My cable modem has an RJ45 jack on it, and connects to an ordinary
10base-T Ethernet card.  Linux supports lots of these, and there are
lots of options out there.
