Does anything like the above exist?

I take by "above" you mean the subject matter.

Yes, Hayes does have a nuBus modem for the Mac. I believe it carries the
designation Hayes Smartmodem 2400m. There may also be V-Series modems as
well.

	And I'll continue David's note to mention that although such an animal
does exist, I would NOT recommend it as it does NOT use a standard mechanism
for software access meaning that the ONLY comm program which you can use
with it is Smartcom II.  As of this writing, they also did not yet have a
CommToolbox compatible solution.

The modem was used successfully with our software which uses the
Communications Toolbox. It did have some difficulty with dropping
carrier when the DTR line was dropped, but I think that was simply a
configuration problem. The modem was only available as a serial port
device in the CommToolbox, but it did work. This was accomplished with
an INIT that spoofed the serial manager for the card. I am not
certain of the implications for simultaneous use of the modem port, but
I got the idea that the two could not be used simultaneously.

I agree they should direct their attention to full CTB support, but
the modem does work to a degree.
