I believe the new macs are using Rockwell chip sets-always problematic for us and our Hipers and Quads. These modems seem to make a high speed connection even if it is unstable. My best experience (personal-2 Macs at home) is to tell the user to change their modem init string (Apple menu-Control Panel-Modem) to a "(v.34 Only)" version for their modem. Newer macs and OS versions have these strings included. You can also get them from Apple and Global Village (Boca Research). The initial connect is slower, but throughput is much better-fewer retrains and resends I suppose.

Does anyone else seem to have relatively consistent problems getting new Macintosh users to be able to connect at v.90 speeds?
