James,

Within /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem.conf, with
$ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem.conf
you should remove the  leading #,  to blacklist drivers
snd_atiixp_modem snd_via82xx_modem snd_intel8x0m.
These modem drivers are useless on your System and will only consume
RAM resources

The only possible support for your:
=====================
 PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
 The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
 /lib/modules/3.11.0-18-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
/lib/modules/3.11.0-12-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
 The modem codec file for the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1
--------------------------------------------------------
Codec: LSI ID 1040
Address: 1
MFG Function Id: 0x2 (unsol 1)
Vendor Id: 0x11c11040
Subsystem Id: 0x10250100
Revision Id: 0x100200
Modem Function Group: 0x1

 The audio card hosts a softmodem chip:  0x11c11040
================


is with the package at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
agrsm-11c11040_20110811_i386.deb
and companion agrsm-tools.   Unfortunately I'm not sure of the
compiling status under current Ubuntu Saucy kernels, and cannot
immediately check on my x86_64 laptop.
Later I'll boot a an x86_32 PC system and check thereon

However if you have a broadband  or ethernet option, that is
preferable and these old modem drivers are becoming increasing
unsupportable.

With respect to using older hardware, my own experience is that 4-5 yr
old systems are performing very slowly even under Linux.
