Q: I'm trying to use dialup but I've got a winmodem

A: Sorry. Unfortunately some cheap modems have moved their functionality to almost completely software. Linux doesn't have support for nearly all of these thin modems and the best you can do is get another modem. You just discovered why it might have been worth purchasing a real modem. Infos about GNU/Linux driver for Winmodems, see linmodems.org
