One of your motherboard's slots must match the modem's connector.
The Lucent Win Modem has a long and complicated history. Lucent spun off a portion of its business, including its dial-up modem technologies, to Agere in 2002. In 2007, Agere merged with LSI Logic. Due to the number of changes and the age of the Lucent-branded modem chipsets, it can be difficult to find compatible drivers for your Lucent Win Modem. The age of the chipset means that you must have Windows XP or an earlier version of the Windows operating system to install the Lucent Win Modem. Your Lucent Win Modem will be either an ISA or PCI card, and your motherboard must have a matching slot to accommodate the card.
