USB ADSL Modem

This is probably a really, really stupid question for a so-called pro to ask, but I haven't had to deal with this stuff for a long time!

My father-in-law has a Win98 laptop and has bought ADSL.

Rather than let him buy more than he needed, I have passed on to him the USB ADSL Modem that came with my ADSL, because I have long since graduated to a WiFi router. The CD for the modem has gone the way of all flesh and so I downloaded the drivers.

So far so good, I have W98 laptop with an ADSL modem sitting fat dumb and happy on a USB port, green lights doing what green lights should do, "This device is working properly" glowing proudly from the screen.

All that is left is to set up a DUN account and Bob should be my Uncle.

But the ADSL modem doesn't appear in the list of modems, so I can't set up the connection.

So please will someone embarrass me to mortification by telling me the missing link I have forgotten.

Ta
