- It's not true. If the dealers had read the developer notes for the 160 and
- 180, they would know that the new modem will require the new modem interface.
- The old interface was just a serial port in disguise. The new one is different.

- For anyone really curious about the PowerBooks (and other new Apples),
- I highly recommend the developer notes that can be found on the Develop CD.
