Are there fax modem options for the new iMacs and Snow Leopard. I don't need a fax service, a modem would be better for my needs.

Apple sells an external USB modem. You can find it under Mac accessories in the Apple Store. Some folks like them, some do not. Your milage may very.

Thanks for the reply. I did a search for the Apple Modem at the Apple Store and couldn't find it. I don't think they make that anymore. Do you have a link?? It's not offered as an accessory when your building the iMac. I can probably find them on Ebay, but the question would be will they work with Snow Leopard.

You are right. I cannot find it on the US website. It is still listed in the UK store.

Just google +USB Fax modem for Mac+ and you will find the Apple modem and others. All are around US$50. The one from Apple is supposed to be about the size of a cigarette lighter and is white. Others are big and ugly.
