No, if he's having reponses on the serial port, then it's still an old real modem (this is an old ibook). I think the modem is just setup by default to send the line "sound" encoded on the serial port. It must be possible to disable that with appropriate AT commands. I think there is an AT command manual for these internal modems either somewhere on the Apple CD or on Apple web site.
