I am getting really frustrated really fast and need some help!!

I have a new computer with Vista. It has a Motorola SM56 Speakerphone modem. Thanks to Mr Gates, my Vista premium does not have faxing capabilities!! Am trying to set up faxing. Have downloaded Snappyfax, Aloaha and Fax machine trial versions, but they all say they cannot detect a modem! Is my Modem even a fax modem?? If I check in Device Manager it says the device is working properly. What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
