Yep, it works fine when you have perfectly clear phone lines and you  
aren't too discerning about your modem's connection speed.  Don't get  
me wrong, I have an Apple USB modem attached to my 24-inch iMac so  
that I can send faxes from my computer.  It isn't unusable, it is  
just very far from being an ideal modem.

There is an incredibly long discussion about Apple modems on Macintouch.
