Modem drivers for a new Dell?

[SooTyLaD]

how do peeps

my dads just got himself a bog standard dell dimension 3100 but it does not come with and driver discs and the like... i have formatted his windows to remove all the carp that comes pre-installed but need the dial-up modem drivers to get him on the net so windows update can do the rest...

i've scoured the dell website to no avail... does anyone know how i can get him on the net? perhaps some sort of generic V92 drivers or summat?

Usually you go to Dell's website http://support.euro.dell.com and click on drivers/downloads, put in the service tag number from the black sticker on the side of the case or the white bar code sticker on the back in the box provided click go and you will get prompted to choose your OS, then click find drivers and you will get a list of the correct drivers for the machine. Look under communications..The modem in these machines is usually an Intel 537X or 573E but best to download all three modem types then you'll be sure to have the right driver.
