Modem driver for RCV336ACFW/SP

I am trying to get an internet connection working for a friend. He has lost any modem info he had but the chip on the modem has "RCV336ACFW/SP" on it. I am guessing it is a rockwell 33.6 modem but can't seem to find a driver to work. Some drivers I have user will recognise the modem and start the call but can't find a dialling tone. (I have checked the line and it is OK).

Where can I get the proper driver and will it solve the problem?

Thanks

You should be able to track down at least the manufacturer by inputting the modem's FCC ID # to www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/ead.

I have found that paticular driver before using the fcc id method, it is out there somewhere.
