I've just attached a Compaq 56k USB external fax modem to my kids computer
to
allow them internet access, but the modem is not recognized via the USB
port.
I have the install disk for the modem, but it's not recognizing the modem
when i use the setup for this.

Any ideas on what I can do to get this working?

If you have a serial port (com1 or com2), use an external modem of U.S.
Robotics make on that port. Take the USB modem back where you got it.
