- Dearest Netters,
- Please excuse my ignorance on this subject, but I've never been in the
- market for a modem, and I don't generally trust computer salesmen who (IMHO)
- will tell me anything just to get me to buy THEIR overpriced piece of
- merchandise other than a far superior, and much cheaper one somewhere else.
- Do modems work irrespective of machine type, or are they machine
- specific? In other words, do I have to buy a modem for a Mac as opposed to a
- modem for a PC, or are modems modems? If there is no difference, then do
- modems come with all the necessary equipment to connect to my Mac LC, or will I
- have the extra, hidden cost of a kajillion cables and adapters?
- Danke schoen!
