At the time of this writing, Apple has discontinued the Apple USB Modem (MA034Z/A) but they are still available from Amazon for around US$50. In this case, Apple has customized Motorola's driver to produce a generally solid product. The disadvantage is that modem processing is offloaded to a specialized driver that runs on the host computer. The advantages of a software modem are low cost, low power consumption, and compact design. This is a controllerless or software modem based on the Motorola SM56 design. Alternatively, you can use the USR modem above which comes with its own low level driver. While I expect Apple will fix this problem eventually, it may not be seen as a high priority. In my testing this allowed the standard modem driver to load. If so, you can try temporarily disabling the System Integrity Protection feature as described here.

This modem may fail to be found on Mac OS X El Capitan because its driver did not load. I also tested faxing with this modem and it worked without incident. In the Network Preferences panel, I selected USB Modem -> Advanced -> Modem -> Vendor: Zoom, Model: Universal (115K). When I plugged the modem in, I was alerted that a new device had appeared. Testing Notes: In my testing this modem worked well. Users report this modem does not recognize Caller ID in the UK even though it includes a UK landline connector and works for dial-up networking. This modem was recommended in a Macintouch user report and is often available from Amazon or eBay for under $25 (used).

The modem includes its own control processor which understands AT commands directly, so only a basic USB serial driver is needed. This is a traditional controller based modem from a manufacturer with a solid product history.

A USR5637 online User Guide is available.Ĭompared to other dial-up modems I have tried, I like the USRobotics modem for its stability. There is no speaker, so to hear the modem dial and connect you must pickup a handset.

This modem is about the size of a cell phone (significantly larger than the Zoom or Apple USB Modem). In the Network Preferences panel, select USB Modem, click Advanced, set the Vendor to "Other", and Model to "USRobotics 56K USB Modem".

You'll need to install the software from the included CD first, and then plug-in the modem for it to be recognized by Mac OS X. The manual included with the modem is unclear about the installation procedure. Testing Notes: In my testing, this modem worked well. Users report this modem does recognize Caller ID in the UK, but does not come supplied with a UK compatible landline cable, so you may need an appropriate adaptor cable. The USR5637 is available from Amazon for around US$50.
