This modem works on the Macintosh without any special software, so I can
not see why it would not work on your IIgs.  (I think I had mine running
on the IIgs for a while, but it was so long ago.)

That said, mine was rather tempermental and took forever to setup on a
Macintosh.  After loosing the settings, I simply packed the thing away
and used a regular 14.4k modem instead.  (It would establish carrier,
then spew junk over the lines.)  So I wish you the best of luck.

But you are correct: the serial connector goes to your modem port and
behaves like a normal modem.  The ADB connector simply provides power.
