If this is a Winmodem, which it sounds like it is, then it won't work with e-smith.

External modems are a safe bet.

I swear by the US Robotics 56K external. It is very reliable and proven to be about 30% faster than other modems on less than perfect connections.

Having huge experience with modems I join previous recommendations. USR 56K External well worth few extra $$. You will avoid MANY frustrations.
Good luck.
