Christopher Greaves banged in a message to All:
 CG> Specifically: What brand/model of modems are suited?
Supra modems do well.
 CG>               What cables types are required?
You get the right type of cable if you buy the "Mac version" of a Supra Modem 
(the modem is the same as the PC model, but you get another cable and Mac 
software).
 CG>               What software is recommended for text-based Email    
Eudora, or if you want compmercial software, Claris EMailer seems to be good 
too.
