Boca Research Releases Internal Modem For New G3s
Boca Research has announced that its new internal modem for Apple's Blue and White G3s, called the TelePort Internal 56K Fax/Modem. The new modems work in the COM slot that Apple included in the popular new computers (thereby leaving one of the three available PCI slots available for other uses).

The modems borrow from previous Boca Research technology. According to Jim Nealon, director of hardware development, for Boca Research:

"We moved fast when Apple announced 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 we developed for the Macintosh G3 portable computers. We took those design specifications and modified them for Apple's new Power Macintosh G3 minitowers."

The modems are retailing for US$139 and are available immediately.
