Boca Research, Inc. has announced the immediate availability of the TelePort Internal 56K Fax/Modem for new Apple Power Macintosh G3 minitowers. The TelePort Internal 56K Fax/Modem is a COM slot modem that fits into the modem port located on the motherboard, and is available at Apple distributors, retailers, and catalog outlets in the United States and Canada. The suggested retail price for the TelePort Internal 56K Fax/Modem in North America is $139.

The company developed the modem quickly in response to Apple's announcement that the new G3 Power Macs would not be shipping with fax/modems. The design specifications of the hardware and software had already been qualified and proven with an internal COM slot modem developed for the Macintosh G3 portable computers. Boca Research was able to modify these specifications for the new Power Macintosh G3 minitowers, ensuring a seamless integration with the G3 platform.

The TelePort family of communications products is a line of award-winning products for Macintosh computers, known for their ease of use, high-performance, and quality. The TelePort Internal 56K Fax/Modem is designed to free up the PCI and USB ports for other computer peripherals, and installation is a quick and easy step-by-step process provided in the modem's users manual.

The software installation is also easy, with the award-winning GlobalFax faxing software providing a robust and user-friendly interface. The on-screen Setup Helper quickly walks the user through the configuration settings of the modem, allowing customers to fax down the street or around the world in minutes.
