Except for the fact that notebook manufacturers have overly relied upon them, win-modems have no proper place in a modern computer.
For all of the 8-bucks of investment that these pieces of garbage represent, they are best removed from any desktop system and discarded. Buy a real modem, if that's what you must have to connect.
With a laptop/notebook you may have no choice--except to buy from a quality vendor next time-around--because the discovery of the crappy hardware is often post-purchase.
