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.[6] Many of its products were bundled with the Macintosh Performa series of computers,[7] and it was the manufacturer for the internal modem in the PowerBook 500 series.[8]

The company also produced the OneWorld fax server and the GlobalFax fax software for Macintosh computers, which it bundled with its hardware.[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.[13]
