I tried using the drivers from linuxant, and they don't explicitely tell me there's no modem inside, but when I try to send AT-commands to the modem, I get no response either. I didn't try to actually dial out, but if I don't even get any response to AT commands, well...
Yes, I know that 'the other one' out there with a document such as this one did succeed in getting the thing to work. But his information is, uh, like, incomplete. To say the least. And since he doesn't provide an email address either, contacting him is pretty hard.
I've had mails from people claiming that with the Linuxant driver, version 6.03.00lnxt03091800full, the modem would work straight away. This would not not be the case for the V5 driver, as it always responds ``NO DIALTONE'' when trying to dial.
I must add that I haven't tried this myself (didn't have the time yet), but I have no reason to assume it would be incorrect; for that reason, I did not yet move this section to somewhere else.
