As with most WinModems, the Motorola SM56 isn't supported in Linux. The only drivers available are proprietary blobs that just won't work with kernel versions other than the one specified. Frankly, you can purchase an external hardware modem for under $10, and an internal one for under $30, so I can't see any use fussing with it.
