   Makes sense. I wonder if the analog signal could be scaled or processed in   
   some way to still work. Anything is possible I suppose, if there's sufficient   
   will.

   Good to know. I've heard of minicom as another Linux option, which I was   
   planning to use with Ubuntu and an external USB>serial modem I have. ZTerm   
   workswell with this Mac's internal 56.6k modem, on OS X.
