Actually, I think that Lucent's driver has been open source (I didn't check how "free" their license is) for at least a year now. No more of these ugly binary drivers that you had to apply binary patches (aggh!) to on every kernel version.
A quick google search turned out http://www.heby.de/ltmodem as a place you can get the sources.
I'm using such a driver on my laptop (Redhat 7.2), I compiled it myself (I don't know why Redhat doesn't include a module for this modem - maybe it isn't "free enough") and the modem is working nicely.
