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?

It's useful to note that the modems used in the PowerBook G3 Series, G3
