Does anyone know if this is compatable with mac os 10.3. I have a B&W g3 tower that needs a modem and the internal babies are hard to comeby, and I've heard many an issue with them. I've attempted to do some extensive google searching on it but no info on it's mac os x compatablity.

Here is the link to it (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=25438&item=5148914411&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)

Remember that a modem driver is an ASCII text file. Zoom Technologies, which now owns Global Village, says that no driver is required for MacOS 9.1 through MacOS X for Zoom USB faxmodem. This is also probably the case with Global Village modems. If it is not, then the Open Transport (MacOS 8 or MacOS 9) driver should work.

Thats what I thought, I remember all my old modems, never had to have a driver. Mac OS took care of it for me. I'm trying to hook up a G3 I have for a freind whos considering switching. I ordered it so we'll see if it really works or not. I suspect it will though.
