see #13621. The motorola website drivers is for Windows only and cannot be openned in Ubuntu. Get an external modem, hook it up, dial in using wvdial and enjoy the experience.

I'm not sure why your recommending a new modem for this person, when their modem IS supported. Recommending people to purchase new hardware when its not necessary is part of the reason new users get scared and run away from Linux, he asked how to get HIS modem working, not advice on buying a new modem.
Thanks,
