You don't actually say what modem you are trying to use. Without wanting to teach you to suck eggs, I have found that, while manufacturers of PC modems don't ship them with Mac modem scripts, they very often have them buried away on their support websites: 3Com and Zoom are good examples of this.
Downloading these is of course a challenge if you can't actually get the modem to connect to the ISP.......
