I have no idea if it _could_ work, but you might try installing ndisgtk, and
installing the Windows drivers under ndiswrapper.

Failing that, how do you know that the modem is _not_ compatible with Linux?

That doesn't answer the question. The .exe file is of course not usable,
directly, but it would appear you _don't_ know it's not compatible with
Linux. You really need to google for the device + Linux, and see what
comes up.
