PCI slot modem card for a G4 ???

[martin]

I have another dumb question , o wise ones of the list.

I have a G4 400 (purchased fall of 2000; no idea whether it's a 
Yikes, Sawtooth, or BinLaden board), and I ordered it from Apple 
without a modem, as I expected to be using it exclusively on an 
office network and would never need the modem anyway.

Now I'm looking into setting it up at home for standalone work, but 
I'd like to keep in touch with the world by email, and so I figure a 
cheap dialup connection is all I really need.

The thing is, I installed a Griffin serial port (which I'm delighted 
with BTW - it works transparently and painlessly with my printer and 
my MIDIman) and it took over my modem connection. So my question is, 
can I use one of my 3 empty PCI slots to put in a PC-style modem 
card? Is there such an animal?  I've been sniffing around the net 
like a truffle-hound and haven't found ONE that's for a mac. Maybe 
there is no such thing....?

I know, I could buy a regular serial modem, and swap plugs regularly 
with the printer. I was looking for a more elegant solution. Maybe 
there's a USB modem? I have a spare USB jack.

Appreciate knowing what is the score, if anyone has been down this path...
