You do understand that the USB modem requires modifications?

need a line voltage inducer if you dont have one already, fairly simple to make if you youtube it. i bought my modem here from pcwzrd13 although hes out of them at the moment. his have a built in line voltage inducer (LVI) so theres no need for one if you end up with his.
Edit: forgot the link sorry

Edit
I believe as long as its linux compatible and is voice enabled it should work. I couldn't find that answer on the modem you shared though. You might ask the seller if its linux compatible.

No
example from ali
is soft modem with linuxant driver
it is not suitable for dial in server, but the money will not be returned to you, because the goods are working and can work in Linux

Correction linux + voice compatible. So that would explain why the modem you linked wouldn't work
