I can't even get to the point where win7 will allow me to add any kind of modem since none exist on my pc. How do you get win7 to do anything if it isn't an actual piece of hardware that is currently connected to your mb?

Hi, This article may helpful to you: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Install-or-remove-a-modem In control Panel\Phone and Modem, when you add modem, you can select the option “Don’t detect my modem; I will select it from a list” then select the type of modem. But the modem has not any function because it is not exist.
