All,
pursuant to the modem discussion the last couple of weeks, i searched briefly and came up
with:
Global Village Teleport 56kbps fax/modem
in original box (opened and inspected, not tested), includes power supply and software on
CD (for Mac OS 8).
Cable connects to the Mac serial port (round DIN connector)
For cost of shipping; I?ll add some bubble-wrap to the box to kee things from rattling
inside and if you are concerned about the original box I?ll add another layer outside.

He said Mac cable and Mac software.
If you're feeling adventurous, . . .
at the modem end of that cable, it might detach from the modem, exposing a DB25F
Since the PC uses a DB25M, . . .
although you might want to extend the distance at least a few inches.
OTOH, if you want AT, not PC, then you would need a DE9F to DB25M cable.
There might still be some of those on eBay.
But, software is a whole other issue.

Yes, I capisce.
Being "in original box (opened and inspected, not tested), includes power
supply and software on CD (for Mac OS 8)." implies that it's as sent by
the vendor, who sold it configured for Mac, and is less likely to have
provided BOTH.
I'm just gently chiding you about availability of "standard" cables, which
you probably have a cubic yard of.
But, it IS true that it could have a Mac cable fused to it, with no other
cabling feasible.

?don?t know whether to top-post or not :-) .
Sorry for slow reply, was off-line (and going to be doing that a lot the next few days).
The communications cable from the modem doesn?t detach (well, reversibly) at the modem
end.
The whole package is pretty clearly Mac-centric, so that doesn?t surprise me.
Basically Fred diagnosed the situation accurately. The only thing I?ll add is that I was
not the original owner, and there may be missing elements from the package (registration
card, etc.) that I don?t know to look for. The hardware looks complete (from a compact Mac
owner?s perspective) - just add telco connections and you are ready to communicate at a
blazing 56k bits/s. :-)
In a week or so I?ll hunt for other modems, but it?s not unlikely they will fall into the
same category. Ed, I?ll keep you in mind and will let you know if I find anything with
DE-25 or DB-9 on the modem.
