One thing is for sure, this one is _not_ a Winmodem, it should work
out of the box (I know for a fact that it does for at least two of
my friends).
Check the following:
1. (sounds silly, but ...) did you power it on ?
2. is the serial port where it's plugged-in activated in the BIOS ?
(note: it might have been de-activated for a number of reasons,
e.g. to give an IRQ to USB, etc...)
3. check the serial cable, if possible try with another ...
