Soft Modem Woes

[Steven Didier]

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!
