Haven't tried it with my new MacPro yet (10.6.4) but as Best Beloved has 'claimed' the G5, I might just leave it where it is. Apple USB modems are often found on eBay.

I have one attached to my late 2009 iMac at work and use it daily, never given me a lick of problems in 9 months now! -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

What are my other fax options? Though I have not used it with my G5 as I don't send faxes anymore, PageSender worked very well for me in the past with my G4's built-in modem. It can send recieve faxes directly or through any of it's supported fax services. You can use it for free although it will put a watermark on the fax. Paying the license fee removes the watermark. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8172/pagesender-fax-center Tina -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I did have to download an Agere driver, honestly can't remember whether it was from the manufacturer or from Agere. It is working fine. http:// www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.29732 Then a friend gave me an Apple external modem which also worked fine (now using that one with a MacBook). You might be better off buying the Apple modem used if you can find it.
