Paul, I bought two B&Ws off our auction site that were advertised as
having modems and they didn't. I should have gone back to the seller
but it was on auction so I guess its buyer beware.
I managed to get a modem off a friend who had a B&W and wasn't using
the modem. It is like 5 mins and 2 screws - no problems. THe computer
detected it and I was able to connect as soon as I restarted - unlike
the battles I have had with WIndoze under similar circumstances. I
needed 2 modems so the other way I have gone is to get a Stealth
Serial Port ($20 off the same auction site) and wonderful Amanda off
this list is sending me an external modem that hopefully will be up
and running just as easily. Good luck on finding an internal modem as
I believe they fit under the same category as reindeer droppings!
P.S. I tried to pinch a G4 internal modem that I knew wasn't doing
anything on a school G4 tower server, but it was from another planet!
Cheers

I just bought a G3 B&W tower from a shop in Toronto while visiting
there. It was sold as having a built-in 56k modem. On arrival the
G3 has no modem.
I'm just wondering what the options are for installing the standard
modem or attaching an external modem. Can the internal modem be
owner installed if obtainable?
Any and all suggestions will be welcome.
Of course I expect the store will make good the missing modem but I
don't want to have to send it back there again as I'm on the West
Coast.
Thanks
Paul
