Gave my wife's old G3 Blue & White to some friends
WAY out in the country, dial up only.
They wanted out of the PC malware business.
Anyway, discovered the G3 has neither an internal
modem nor a serial port. Their Earthlink software
will only recognize and set up with a serial port.
Hooked the modem to a USB port but the software
didn't give USB as an option to hook to, only serial
port.
Did find a mac compatible serial modem, but even
checking with MacMall, MacWarehouse, etc, NO
PCI cards with a simple serial port! They both did advertise
one (same make/model) as being mac compatible, but the
mfg answered my customer service email saying it isn't (!)
Anybody know of one that doesn't cost more than
the old G3 is worth?
OSX 10.4
Thanks much!
