Mac OS 9.1: Connection Issue With Some USB Modems TIL article #31322 confirms what we have previously reported in out Mac OS 9.1 Report: "After updating to Mac OS 9.1, some types of USB modems will not respond properly when attempting to connect to an ISP."

The only solutions are to get a modem update (if one exists), downgrade to Mac OS 9.0.4, or get a new modem.
