There is no reason that a serial modem would stop working between 9.0.4 and
9.1, even if the manufacturer went out of business. They're pretty much the
same beast under the hood. They all use the Hayes AT command set. The only
time I could see that being a problem is if you're running one of those
archaic "software" modems (name of the interface escapes me at the moment)
Apple experimented with in the early-mid 1990s.
You should be able to fiddle with different modem settings files to get it
to work.
Eric.
