Can't find the driver for my modem!!!!!!

Ok, here's what happened.  I crashed my computer(my own fault-experimenting with partion magic) so I am reinstaling everything.  The computer came with systems cd with drivers in it, but I can't find the one I need.  I opened up the computer an all I could see on the moden is U.S. Robotics and 3com.  So I have no idea what moden I have.  Is there some kind of diagnostic or somethig.  This a local bought computer, it's not like a gateway were they have it on record.  If wores comes to wores I will bring it in, but I really want to figure out myself.  Thanks.  O I am on Win 98.

Shut down your computer, turn off the power, unplug the power
cable,  open the case,  remove the modem and post here ALL
letters, numbers, writing, etc. from the MODEM, and I will tell
you where to get the driver and how to install it.

For some reason I those links are not working.  How ever I did find this one:
http://www.usr.com/winmodem/inf/index.html
And downloaded 569800.exe and tryed that with your Intructions.  I click on more info in the Modems dialog box and it comes up with, [Error,The modem faild to respond.  Make sure it is properly connected and tuned on.  If it is an internal modem or is connected(which it is)  verify that the interupt for the port is properly set.]  Maybe I didn't find the right driver?  I'll keep trying to go to the links that you supplied.  Thanks
This is the right driver for your card.  You should have a virtual port listed that was installed when the PCI COMUNICATIONS
DEVICE WAS FOUND, AND THE MODEN SHOULD BE INSTALLED
UNDER MODEMS.  tHE PORT LISTED FOR THIS MODEM WILL
BE THE VIRTUAL PORT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SETUP,
NOT A REAL PORT.  THE INTERUPT FOR THIS MODEM SHOULD
NOT BE SHARED WITH ANY OTHER DEVICE.
