Q: How to connect a fax/dail-up modem to my Mac

Hi,

 

I'm new to the Apple support community, so any help would be appreciated.

 

My problem is that I bought a dail-up/fax modem from dinodirect.com as shown here: http://www.dinodirect.com/fax-modem-external-usb-56kbps.html

It has on the box a Mac logo so I assumed it would be Mac compatiable, however the software cd that came with it had no Mac drivers only Windows and Linux, so I figured it didn't need a driver. However when I plug it into my Mac and go to network it doesn't show up, and when I go to create a new network the dail-up area is shaded out. The chip set in it is a Conexant, but I can't find any drivers of it for Mac either. I'm running out of ideas, what can I do to get it to work?

 

Thanks

 

Btw I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a White Macbook
