The back panel of all Power Macintosh models contain two I/O ports for serial telecommunication data.

GeoPort was a serial data system used on some models of the Apple Macintosh. GeoPort modified the “meaning” of the existing Mac serial port pins to add a new high-speed DMA channel that allowed the Mac"s internal sound hardware to emulate various devices such as modems and fax machines. GeoPort could be found on late-model m68k-based machines (the AV series) as well as all pre-USB Power Macintosh models.
