>>        I can not comment on the modems themselves (as I have not used all
of
them, and some only briefly) but the way they work is since the Macintosh OS
does not understand more than two serial ports or serial devices they must
patch the OS to think that when a program is tallking to your modem port it is
really talking to the internal modem.

Does anyone know how the Mac Portable handles it's internal modem AND it's two
external serial ports?  Special code?  Partial implementation of the CTB?
