Most PCI bus modems are software modems aka Winmodems and yours is
too. You have two options; buy another modem or try and get yours to
work (it's possible). I would pick the first option (well, I already
have a big box full of them). The modem you're looking for is an
external v.92 serial modem. These modems will work with ANYTHING that
has an rs-232 serial port. You can pick one up on ebay for a few
bucks, say with the name brands like US Robotics, in-fact buy a US
Robotics modem. USR Sportster Faxmodem, back in the day you could not
go wrong with one of these babies.
