There is no universal V.92 modem driver that will allow you to use any 
Windows USB V.92 modem with a Macintosh.

I don't know the technical reasons, but you can't purchase a V.92 USB 
modem meant for a Windows computer, tweak the initialization string, and 
have it work with your Macintosh, like you could with earlier modems.  

So for now the only two choices for a Macintosh-compatible external USB 
V.92 modem are the recently released Apple modem, which only works with 
OS X 10.4, and which is a soft-modem (i.e. it performs poorly and drags 
down your Mac too), or the Best Data V.92 USB external fax modem for 
Macintosh.

Apple also offers internal V.92 modems for some older Mac models, 
complete with drivers.
