Exactly which model? Serial port modem, right? US Robotics has in the past made some serial modems that absolutely will not work on a Mac. I dunno how they did it, but they did. I have a 33.6 external USR that won't work on a Mac. I used to have one of these BestData modems and it worked very well. (Even on a PC. Nobody sells this model as a "PC Modem" except possibly direct from BestData.) <http://www2.warehouse.com/product.asp?pf%5Fid=DMD3982&cat=pc&blind=> Then there is a v.92 version for the same price. v.92 is supposed to allow uplink speeds above 33.6k AND downlink up to 53k at the same time. v.90 is supposed to allow uplink up to 33.6k and downlink up to 53k. (Of course your ISP must also have v.90 or v.92 equipment on its end.) <http://www2.warehouse.com/product.asp?pf%5Fid=DMD5073&cat=pc&blind=> ===== "Why do Zik-Zak Burgers come in plastic packs?
