#255 — External Modem

Message-ID<1k7p1qw.1cz30z614qdpf4N%syochelson.nospam@ieee.nspam.org>
The current 21" iMac with Snow Leopard no longer supports the Apple
external modem, but I have been told that non-Apple modems  like the
Zoom 3095, will work.

I would like to have one to enable me to sent a fax now and then.

Comments? Recommendations?

Thanks

I have a zoom 3095 USB modem, running SL, it works fine.

Is it something about the iMac version that stops it working? I ask because
I have a 20" iMac with Snow Leopard which works fine with the Apple USB
modem.

It's probably because new Macs use the 64-bit kernel, and there is no 
64-bit driver for that modem.  Look in the "Software" section in System 
Profiler (Utilities folder).  If it is using the 64-bit kernel, try 
booting with the "3" and "2" keys pressed to get it into 32-bit kernel, 
then try the modem.
