non-winmodem modems

[Rick Palmer]

You can also look for the  Mac OS sticker.  That means its 
compatible.  Isn't it funny how labeling it as Windows implies that 
its compatible but really means its not compatible with the rest of 
the world...and the rest of the world that is compatible is labeled 
not compatible when it is?
