What Windows calls com6 would be ttyS7 on Linux, but it may not
have been assigned there by the.

If you're not sure after looking at dmesg you can always do:

echo ata >/dev/ttys0

and keep incrementing through /dev/ttyS1, /dev/ttys2, etc., etc.

When you hit a dial tone, you've found your port. Of course, at
that point you'll be eager to do a:

echo ath >/dev/ttySX

where X is the number of the port you just identified.

For dialing look at wvdial. You might also want to find eznet.

A good way to configure is to start minicom -s as root. Minicom
is a lot like that old DOS Telex program.

Of course, what I don't know at all is how much of this comes to
you via zipspeak.
