Open up the modem, open up the USB adapter, take the board out of the USB 
adapter case, and fit it into the modem case.  If it's small enough, then 
wire it up.

The real problem is the AC adapter.  A lot of external modems used a 
higher voltage, often AC, to get what it needed, and you won't get that 
from 5V via the USB connection.

My first 2400baud modem was an ISA internal, I got it for $5 at a garage 
sale in 1995, and I removed the UART from the board (it was early enough 
that the UART was separate from the other electronics) added some RS-232 
drivers and receivers, and it became an external modem, the serial signals 
coming and going to where the UART outputs went to the rest of the modem.

But then, I was using a computer that only had a serial port, so the ISA 
bus wouldn't work for me.  About 6 months later I got an external USR 
Robotics 2400 with HST and that replaced it, though it was a lot bigger.
