Linux 8.1? wha?
Last time I checked linux kernel was at 2.6 or something.
Maybe you mean SuSE Linux 8.1.
Anyway you most likely have a winmodem. A winmodem is a modem designed just for (you guessed it) windows. It only works for windows because it is missing a critical chip that is required for it to work, the windows driver emulates this missing chip.
Solution: get a new modem, usually Conexant modems work with linux, also, external modems usually work. ISA almost always work but of course you dont have this option because you have a laptop.
I think ive seen a site somewhere with linux drivers capable of emulating the missing chip, dont have the link so cant help you much there.
