Sounds like the Global Village One World Server. They haven't made 
that product in several years and stopped supporting it long ago. We 
have one on our network, but I think that the client software stopped 
working after we upgraded our desktops to MacOS v.9.1. We do have at 
least one machine here with an old OS on it that the user users to 
fax from. I don't believe that anyone is still using it as a shared 
modem. I'm sure that there are no current drivers for it and I doubt 
that they sold enough of them for anyone to do a hack.

sorry,
Alan
