Modems need a modem script in order for Remote Access to dial out.
These are often specific to each modem (eg, a 33 Kbaud script may not
make reference to connecting at higher speeds). Apple has a kit to
create modem scripts, but it is not as easy as falling off a log (or,
perhaps, as losing a dongle).
there's a bunch of modem scripts for all kinds of modems at
www.modemhelp.org--helpful especially for older modems, or for the odd pc
modem you want to use on a mac (quite a few of them will work--like many
megahertz pc card modems i've used). i'm partial to the "x-jack" no-dongle
modems myself, having used megahertzes (and a good practical peripherals one
as well) for about five years now, without any real problems. the megahertz
cruise card is especially neat, allowing you to use your cellular phone as
well (with a special cable, of course).
