Someone asked about using up the one and only ADB port on some macs with the TelePort modem. Not a problem. The TelePort cable has another ADB on it so one can plug the keyboard, the modem , and the mouse all in one ADB port. I have had my TelePort on my mac LC for a couple of weeks and have been very impressed except for one thing: apparently the MNP stuff (levels 4 and 5) are in software instead of hardware. This shouldn't be a problem, because I have been able to download things in the background with multifinder. The problem is the MNP softare has trouble downgrading to the MNP level of the remote modem, so one must have the MNP level set in the TelePort cdev for the right level of the remote modem ahead of time. Global Village claims they are working on the problem right now and will ship a new disk with the MNP stuff on it fixed to all registered owners next quarter.
