A note you might find that the Motorolla driver sets up an arbitrary
device..

 /dev/modem might be linked to the motrolla modem.

I've seen some win-modem drivers set up the device as /dev/ttyS14
(although since it was on COM1 you'd expect it to be found at
/dev/ttyS0). 

Try the internet connection wizard again- since installing the motorolla
driver *should* have added/changed a device on your Linux side. 

Unfortunately vendor supplied drivers like this one are more often than
not really bad.
