USR Sportster 28,800 PCMCIA modem - drivers?

I recently bought a USR Sportster 28,800 PCMCIA modem from
uk.adverts.computer thinking that it'd be able to run no probs with OS 8
- just plug and play.

But, even though it recognises the modem okay when I stick it in one of
the slots it doesn't "respond properly" when I try dialing up. I think I
need drivers for it, but have no receipts/warranty card for it, so can't
get the drivers from USR....

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Andrew

I don't think you do need drivers; just a correctly set up Mac
(probably).

Not without some more information.

Which PPP program are you using?  What have you done to set it up?  What
have you tried to get a response out of the modem?  Have you tried using
a terminal emulator like ZTerm to dial into a bulletin board?

Oh yes, and what sort of Mac?
