Parallels and a Modem...

[Scott Roebuck]

Excuse me? If truth be told, I do not have any use for Windows at  
all... except for the fact that I need to use ProComm and PC Anywhere  
to connect to telecom and voice mail servers. This is my only reason  
for using Parallels and XP in the first place.

I use the modem in OS X in conjunction with a little app called ZTerm  
to do most of what I need to do, moves adds and changes, but  
unfortunately these arcane telephone and voice mail systems run  
mostly in the Windows environment. What can I do?

I thought it was a much better solution than having to cart around a  
PC in addition to my Mac.

I found out however that this problem has to do with the fact that  
Parallels does not support USB 2. It will however in it's next release.

For anyone interested, there is a Parallels Desktop for Mac build  
3170 RC3, Release Candidate, version available at http:// 
www.parallels.com/products/desktop/beta_testing/

But hey... thanks for your response : )

Scott
