Friends have a newer iMac that they have never used at OS X, only OS 9. Now they would like to start using it at OS X, but they say someone told them their USR/3Com 3CP3468A ISDN TErminal Adapter (modem) will not work with OS X. I looked on the USR site and it's a discontinued product, and the only driver available is for Windows XP. Do they have to get a new ISDN modem, and if so, what is the best oen most compatible with OS X (Jaguar), and should it be for an Ethernet or USB connection? And, is it relatively easy to set up? Does it use it's own driver? finally, it would make sense for them to get a combo ISDN router or switch, so they could use their two macs to share the isdn connection.
Thanks,

Hi mitchellfox,

I don't know about the USR/3Com, but given that it's a legacy (discontinued) product I'd say the chances are slim that anyone will be writing drivers for it.

Hermstedt has a number of ISDN products compatible with Max OS X. Check out their pages at http://www.hermstedt.com/english/products/products.html

I once set up one of their "webshuttle" products for a friend. It was on os 9, but the installation and setup procedure was a breeze, and I expect they will have kept up the good work for their OSX products.

Cheers

By the way, shouldn't you _not_ leave your email address in a post? Easy target for spammers looking for valid emailadresses? I'm not sure, but I think that might be a possibility.
