You probably can't. Most PCI modems are WinModems and are recognized by only the Windows operating systems. Check out your model at http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html. This is really a Linux list but they have the same problem with Winmodems that we do. If it is a Winmodem, take it back and get a real modem that is on Clark's list. You might also consider an external. Externals cost $20 more but if one gets wedged, you can cycle power on it a lot better than having to turn the pc off and back on. Alway check your hardware out for acceptability to an OS before you purchase something.
