It should be installed by default? If not there is a isapnptools rpm on the CD.
(or you could upgrader to 6.1, which has Kudzu whh tries to config pnp hardware automatically.)

I have a very similar modem. The way I connected to the internet was through KPPP. Open it and start setting your configuration using the "tabs". One is the modem setup and it will allow you to pick the "comm" although it is different than MSWindows. I'm not using my linux at the moment but if I remember after selecting there is an step to query the modem or it is automatic.
I did not get any automatic installs either.
