Ah, internal MODEM. I didn't get that from your original post, either.

I have a Dual 2.0GHz G5, machine model PowerMac7,2 (system profiler sez);
not sure if it's a Rev 0 because I'm not sure when it was first released (I
got it deeply discounted from an Apple store nearly three years ago, it was
their display model -- not sure how long it was on their floor before it was
sold to me).

Anyway, mine has an internal modem (also System Profiler):

It SAYS USB, but I am 100000% sure it's internal; all I see is the jack in
the back. It definitely does not hang off the computer the way the current
models do.
