Jeff,
I do not believe it is possible for a modem to plug in to the ADB port.
I have a Global Village Platinum which plugs into the serial port; bought
last year at a surplus store (AllMac in San Jose) for $59. Works great;
gets its power from the ninth pin on the serial port so there is no power
cord and no wall wart. Fits in the palm of my hand. I imagine there are
newer ones that are even smaller than this.
Jerry
