which modem do you want to get working??
the "AC'97 Modem Controller"??
you can't get that to work without internet:

Modem
Hardware: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Modem Controller - Winmodem.
this modem is made by Agere (a Lucent subsidiary), and they're working on a linux driver! As soon as I get any new news, I'll post it here.
You can get it to work by using:
Kernel 2.4: the slmdm-2.7.10 driver (more recent 2.7 drivers don't work):
Edit amrmo_init.c, and change the value for #define PCI_DEVICE_ID_ICH2 to 0x24C6.
Compile the driver and try to insert it using insmod. When you dial out it will still complain about 'not being compatible', but it works.
Don't forget to run a make install to install the driver modules and modify /etc/modules.conf!
Kernels 2.6: the slmodem-2.9.7 driver:
Compile the driver (make) and install it (make install). Next, start the slmodemd daemon with the following parameters:
slmodemd -c <COUNTRY>
This will start the daemon and link it to the /dev/ttySL0 port. Now you can use that for dialout.
For more info, see this email on linmodems.org
You can use this init.d script for Debian to start the slmodemd daemon.

i have a usb jump drive that i can use to transfer the .tar file over
