I had one of these recently.  I got it from Quality for a good price, but 
returned it since I couldn't switch it to the Mac+ I also have.  The 
modem worked fine on my GS.  The behavior you describe doesn't sound 
normal.  I believe the only thing the modem gets from the ADB port is 
power.  All the interfacing happens through the serial port.
