What (traditional) modems work with Windows Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit?

I have a US Robotics v.Everything modem that I occasionally used for fax and Internet dial-in backup access. However, that modem connected to my previous PC using a plain RS-232 9-pin serial port. My new computer doesn't have such a vintage serial port.

"At my previous job we often had to deal with console ports on networking equipment, meaning we had to have access to a serial port even though our current laptops didn't have one.

We used something that works like this, just not that particular model. This should work fine for connecting a modem to.

When it comes to modems I would steer clear of internal modems and try to find an external one if possible, since the compatibility of internal ones is usually very limited and the driver development often abandoned."
