If you have a place to plug a phone cable into the PC (it is usually on the back of the PC, its a circuit board in the chassis), then you have the modem.
Now you just need the software, which should have come with you PC if it came with a modem. The software is also built into MS Windows.
Now you can connect to an internet Service Provider (ISP). They're not free. Sorry.

∙ 12y agoThe word "modem" means "modulator/demodulator". It is a term referring to the action of converting data to audio signals (modulating) and converting audio signals to data (demodulating). Strictly a 'cable modem' is not a modem, but is so-called simply to avoid confusing the layman, who has come to expect anything that receives data from the internet to have this appellation.
In truth, a true modem requires only a connection between modems that is capable of carrying audio electrical signals. This can be a phone line or simply a cable connecting the two.
If referring to a modem router (where even the term 'router' is not strictly correct either, but that's not important), no; a network cable, copper wire, electrical cabling, or even (if you feel extravagant) a phone line can carry the data in a number of ways without modulation or demodulation being required... but as there is no modulation/demodulation, there is technically no modem... o.O

How do you access a computer connected to a DSL modem through the Internet?
Yes you can use DSL modem to connect to Internet, but you need to have a DSL connection (through a phone line) subscribed and activated with an internet service provider or a phone company which provides DSL internet access. As there are many forms of DSL technologies, you need to make sure that modem is compatible with the service provider network. Typically when you subscribe to a internet connection, the service provider provides their own modem to the customer. - Neeraj Sharma

It may not be so much the modem as the quality of the phone connection. What does the modem documentation indicate the speed to be? If it's a 56kb modem, and it's working, even at that slower speed, it's probably not a problem with the modem. Generally they either work or they don't.
