Small is good ;/ If you just mean minimalistic, try some of the small distros intended to run in routers and other embedded devices. openwrt.org and angstrom-distribution.org are probably good places to start. I use Angstrom for some embedded stuff and it is fairly comfy for such a small distro. I don't think it uses Debian packages/repos directly but has its own package installer called opkg (similar to apt-get) which has quite a bunch of stuff available. I don't know about that particular USR modem but chances are it uses USB serial port emulation which is supported by Angstrom (don't know about openwrt).
