PCI or USB Modem for PowerMac G4 Digital Audio

Can anyone provide a list of PCI or USB dial-up modems that are compatible with this powermac? PCI is preferable, but USB would work as well. When I first purchased it I knew of a bunch of websites that listed compatible hardware, as I planned on doing some upgrades (never happened...).

hahaha who uses dial up nowadays anyway

Considering there are people who can't even afford to feed their families, more than you would think. Not everyone can afford to live a lifestyle of luxury and must prioritize their wants and needs.

Socialist rants aside, I am considering giving my old mac to my parents for Christmas, and they are dial-up users.

You may want to try eBay and purchase the original dial-up modem that came with it. I'm assuming the G4 you have either has a broken modem or doesn't have one at all. If I still had my G4 DA I'd just pull it outta there and ship it to you.

heh, i appreciate the offer. I bought it from a university surplus auction, so no, there was never a modem to begin with. So you're saying the modem that comes with it is PCI interface?

That was rude! Some people use dial up. Not everyone can spend $50+ a month on a fast internet connection.

The standard factory modem that originally came with the G4 DA system was a PCI interface, but was actually a little module that screwed onto the logic board by the I/O ports (USB, FireWire, etc.), i.e. it didn't plug into the PCI slot. If you search eBay for "G4 modem" or something to that extent you will most likely find a ton of stuff. I'm sure you could find one for $5 or less.
