Where can I find a generic modem driver to run a Broadcom V.92 MDC modem in Windows98. I have a multiboot setup on a Dell 8600 notebook to run both Windows98 and Windows XP.

Broadcom analog modems are software-driven controllerless solution. While Broadcom does not directly sell or support analog modems, the software that makes them work is developed or licensed by Broadcom and released to its customers. It's customers are the OEMs that make the actual product. These OEMs often sell the product to other OEMs, which in turn sell them through various channels that eventually reach the end user. This model provides no reliable method of support for the product which I suggest avoiding.
BCM modems are being bundled by PC makers including Gateway and Dell. The Gateway version is supplied as a combo card that includes home network and modem capabilities. Gateway has released V.92 drivers 3.4.x & 3.3.x that should work with all Broadcom-based modems (driver version for Windows 98, NT, Me, 2K, and XP).

You can download more info on modem here.

There is a readme file with the drivers for install info.
