My guess is that this is the problem. You may get help here but I wouldn't bet on it, these drivers are almost always distributed as binary modules. A module built for one kernel isn't likely to work with another kernel. Even if you have the source and compile it after installing a new kernel source tree there is a high probability that it still won't work. Try contacting the folks that produced the Lucent driver. Or better, get a real modem.
Drivers for Winmodems and their relatives are usually not made by folks that are willing to contribute the source to become a part of the kernel source. In such cases you are unlikely to get help from anyone except, rarely, from the creators of the drivers themselves.
