I know that there was a Global Village modem control panel (used it for a while, from '93-'96). That was the only proprietary software I recall having from GV. But I've used the same modem with Apple's modem control panel quite successfully.
The drivers/scripts are usually proprietary to some extent. Mostly because each company uses their own variation on the modem protocol. As stated though, Apple includes the modem scripts for GV and several other company's modems. They work perfectly well. I've never found a modem that couldn't be used with one of the provided scripts. Though there were times when a bit of trial and error were called for, my customer always had a useable modem setup when I was finished.
