Correct on both counts.  The MAC uses a "non-standard" serial interface and 
you therefore need a cable with the proper DIN connector.  Also, I believe 
you have to configure the DIP switches on the modem differently for the MAC 
to accommodate its different method of handshaking.
Other than that, the modem doesn't care if it's connected to a PC, a MAC, or 
a dumb terminal. :-)
