You are using a 2.4.20 kernel, right?  But you don't have the headers. 
Can you get the 2.4.20 headers from the same place you got the 
kernel-image package?  If not you can get them from a Debian mirror.

When you try to apt-get, the package name you want is 
kernel-headers-<version> where version matches the output of uname -r.

Then when you try to install the modem driver put 
/usr/src/kernel-headers-<version> in for the source build directory.

HTH,
