there are some external usb modems available, as well as some internal pci modems. both can be found at macmall.com.
if you find anything along the lines of an apple-supplied internal modem, look out, because i guess the modem the B&W G3/pci G4 used won't work in your newer mac.
you can try ebay, too, although i don't see anything there at the moment.

P.S. The modem in a Quicksilver is the same as the one in an a Sawtooth G4, Digital Audio G4, and the graphite Airport Base Station.

tooki, the only modem I have found close to what I need is here: http://shop.store.yahoo.com/lovemacs/6612324.html

It looks identical to what I took out of my computer and the numbers are the same. Says it is good to use in up to a 733. So from what you are saying it should work in my 800?

Anyone have experience ordering from the company in the link above? The price one the modem is hefty. All I can find right now.

Yep, that modem would work, but it's way overpriced. Get one on eBay.
