If your computer has a serial port, look on eBay for an external modem.
I just did a search in the Computers & Networking category for "external
modem (US Robotics,3 COM)(v90,v.90)" and got 22 hits. These modems
should NOT require any special driver, and any of them should work. In
the above inquiry, prices ranged from $4.99 - $26.00.

As with all of such things, YMMV!
