Default setting up US Robotics modem

I'm trying to put US Robotics 56K Winmodem to work on Linux Mandrake
8.0. I can't find the device-driver for it. Only the Windows device
diver comes with it. Is it possible to make this Modem work under any
Linux? I've seen device-drivers for other Winmodems, but it seems
impossible to find one for this one although it's a really common
modem.
Does anybody know why is it so hard to write a device diver for it?
And most importanly. WHERE CAN I FIND A DEVICE_DRIVER FOR US ROBOTICS
56K WINMODEM?
I apreciate your attention and help.
