[geeks] mac modem question

[Andrew Weiss]

Aren't most PCI modems software driven?

Either which way the only internal modems that are mac compatible tend 
to be the Apple supplied daughter card for each model.  In my G3/BW 
it's a daughterboard strung onto the internal serial bus.  Your best 
bet for older macs is an external that hooks to your serial port.  In 
newer macs... USB.  In all the years I've done Mac service I've never 
seen a PCI internal modem.  I don't think I've even seen a NuBus modem. 
  It doesn't mean they don't exist however.
