"The IIGS modem connector"... perhaps you mean the 8-pin doodad in the back.
Since the Mac had one, Apple might have encouraged developers to support it.
At any rate, you will probably need an RS232->8-pin doodad cable, available
from any Macintosh dealer.

Yes, I do feel bitter about Sculley's "no Apple II CPU upgrades 'til hell
freezes over" attitude.  Maybe he'll redeem himself in the next few months.
Otherwise I may just buy a PC Transporter and go on from there.
