Are you sure? Apple Modem Updater 2.0 and the knowledgebase article
below states that they take Conexant firmware.

Apple Modem Updater 2.0 Document and Software
Hardware Requirements
PowerBook G3 Series
iMac
Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White)
Power Macintosh G4 (PCI and AGP)
iBook
Power Macintosh G4 Cube
What the Apple Modem Updater Does
The Apple Modem Updater will update modems in the PowerBook G3 Series,
iMac, Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White), and Power Macintosh G4 (PCI
and AGP) computers. The updater installs version 2.3 of the Conexant
firmware which contains the latest versions of both the V.90 and the
K56flex protocols. The modems can use either the K56flex or V.90
protocols and will automatically negotiate with the service provider
to use the appropriate one.

I misspoke. The old chipsets in the old modems were not Lucent. They
were
Rockwell.

First, yes these are analog modems.
Second, yes USB modems work.
Third, the modems in those G3's were Lucent chipsets made by Boca
Research
(Global Village) for Apple as OEM. I know because I worked for Boca
at the
time.
Those same Lucent chipset PC Card modems won't work reliably past Mac
OS
9.0.4. Newer Lucent chipsets sometimes caused a kernel panic in OS X.
I'm
trying
to avoid this with new PC cards using Conexant.
Does Apple provide specific minimum settings for PCMCIA cards to work
with
their OS'. How would I find this information? Is there an open source
page
on
their site or should I contact Apple direct?

"If you have a contact at Apple, could you ask them whether Jaguar
includes
generic PC Card modem drivers that support Conexant PCMCIA Cards with
Type II or II PC Card or CardBus slots.
What OS' do they support?"
Firstly, are these PCMCIA analog modems?
I've not tried those but I have had excellent success with USB modems
without any special drivers other than the modem scripts.
It's useful to note that the modems used in the PowerBook G3 Series,
G3
iMac, Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White), and Power Macintosh G4 (PCI
and AGP) were all Conexant modems.
No-one but authorised Apple employees can talk about Panther tho.
