this is pretty simple :-
1. connect ur modem to the pc
2. run kppp if u have kde - in setup - modem - specify the port the modem is connected to.
3. query the modem.
P.S. :- theres no need to recompile kernel or load any modules - for this.

Also this question is too very simple :- 100 points for this is a lot extreme - I would rate it only around 10-20 points(very easy)
Read the ppp HOWTO. It will be in your doc directory. Or look for it at www.linuxdoc.org.
In brief, physically connect the modem. com1 is ttyS0, com2 is ttyS2. Just write the necessary scripts in /etc/ppp/
(if-up and if-down), configure your dialler and you are on.
10 points max, smile. Its documented. And the docs should be available. The correct answer I would say is RTM
Is it a winmodem? If it is it may not work in linux.
