This is mostly vapor, but may be applicable.

I saw a few ads reacently for the Teleport modem from Global Village 
Communications (at least I think that's the companies name). They have a 
2400 baud MNP-5 modem the plugs into your ADB port (i.e. no extra power
supply and it doesn't tie up your serial port). 

I called and talked to someone that told me the following stuff:

it will cost $150 until they set up distribution channels (you buy direct from
     them now)

it will work with the communication manager, allowing your serial ports to be
 untouched OR it will take over for the modem/printer port OR you can have it
 take over serial use of the printer port WHILE you are also using appletalk
 through the printer port.

it uses a AT type command set

Real Soon Now, they are supposed to have some software out that will allow you
to use it as a faxmodem (for an extra $60).

I am going to purchase one as soon as he gets approved to accept Amex cards.
Has anyone else out there got one yet??? How does it work?

Disclaimer: I could be wrong.
