I once spent four days searching for a modem driver for a 3Com/USR
modem. Even when I quoted all available numbers from both sides of the
PCI card to a support person at:

US Robotics Support
3COM US Robotics
Work:	Technical Support
Customer Support
0870 844 4546

... I was told they couldn't identify it. It was one of the countless
one-off OEM modems that used to be made - for OEMs, not Joe Public.
Save yourself the hassle and buy a new one. Under 15 quid for one
compatible with '98 ME or XP I'd reckon.

HtH Dave.
