Global Village Communication

Global Village Communication Inc. was a leading manufacturer of easy-to-use fax modems and other telecommunications products for Apple's Macintosh platform.

[2] It was one of the few manufacturers to support the Mac's RS-422 serial ports without requiring an adapter.

[3] Major product lines included the TelePort series of high-speed desktop dial-up modems,[4] and the PowerPort series of internal PowerBook modems,[5] as well as a series of modems that connected to the Mac's ADB port.

[9][10] Amid a sharp decline in Macintosh sales in the late 1990s,[11] Global Village sold itself to Boca Research in June 1998.

[12] Boca Research in turn sold the Global Village division to Zoom Telephonics in 2000.
