Question : Problem: Mac OS X modem

Hi. I have acquired a macintosh beige G3 computer.  However all that it came with was an ethernet card installed. I am interested in purchasing a modem for this computer.  It is running Mac OS X with 320 MB of Ram.  Where can i find out what modems i could get that would be supported by os X. i tried a usb modem i have from a pc, but apparently not many usb modems are supported right now.  I guess then id like to go with an internal pci card modem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer : Problem: Mac OS X modem

I say USB for several reasons:

1)You can see the lights and diagnose problems easier.
2)Its easier to detach it and move it to different computers.
3)Internal modems tend to be harder to find.
4)A USB modem doesnt suck up another PCI slot.

OS X comes with scripts for the following modems (Again, i would recommend the USRobotics or Supra, both of which have scripts here):
