I don't know about the gs,since there does not seem to be any software to
make it work as am answering machine, but on the Mac there are and it
works fine. I have a Supra on my Powerbook (internal), but the same as
yours and it works fine for Fax, and I have an voice mail program and it
also works fine. I don't use it must, that us unless I'm traveling, then I
leave it attached to the hotel phone in that mode, so it will either
receive a Fax or go to voice mail.
