Best solution is to buy a serial modem such as the Zoom Modem. If you are stateside I know that Staples and Best Buy carry serial modems. If necessary you can get a serial modem to work with a usb adapter, as I had to do with my Ti Powerbook. Otherwise Ebay is a good choice to look. Good luck! -- Steven Didier
