    Have you done some googling on the topic? I found several pages that discuss Linux on the R52. The best one that I found on a modem driver is this one: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/IBM_Integrated_56K_Modem_(MDC-2)

    Unfortunately, the driver that they recommend costs $15, but there is a eval version that you can try to see if it even works.
