Really need more clues than that. Start with "what _kind_ of internal
modem"? ISA, PCI? USR/3Com has built quite a number of different
56k internal modems - and some work, while some do not. If you don't know
the difference between ISA and PCI, the contacts (where the card plugs in
to the motherboard) are spaced 2.54 mm on ISA, and 1.27 mm on PCI.

No hit. Where are you finding this information.

IF THERE, these would be on paper labels stuck to the card only.

MMX has nothing to do with softmodems. Start with looking in the boot
messages. IF this is an ISA modem, you should see something in the
initialization of the serial driver (look in /var/log/messages), perhaps
Aug 21 16:23:27 Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with MANY_PORTS
SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI ISAPNP enabled
Aug 21 16:23:27 ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
Aug 21 16:23:27 ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
That happens to be two on-board serial ports. If you have a hardware based
PCI modem, this serial driver should also detect it. For PCI devices, look
at the output of 'lspci -vv' and see what you see. An example might be
Bus 0, device 15, function 0:
Serial controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 1).
Vendor id=12b9. Device id=1008.
Medium devsel. IRQ 10.
I/O at 0x1890 [0x1891].
or
00:0b.0 Serial controller: US Robotics/3Com 56K FaxModem Model 5610
(rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550])
Subsystem: US Robotics/3Com: Unknown device 00aa
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
I/O ports at d400
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
Those are both 3CP5610 PCI modems.
