Because I have DSL at home and high speed network at work I never have a need to dial up for mail. Yesterday my DSL connection went dead (looks like a line card at the CO switch has gone kaput) and I wanted to dial up to get mail. I can't even "see" the internal modem as an available port in the Modem Control Panel in OS 9 nor does it show up in the available connection options in OS X. It's vanished (though I know it was working when I got the PowerBook in July of 02). So it appears that it's a hardware problem. I haven't disassembled this thing to check, but is the modem on the motherboard or is it something that we can replace quickly? I don't want to be without my PowerBook in the middle of a school term, so I'm hoping it's a simple card change, not a mobo replacement (or PowerBook replacement).

The modem is a replaceable item - a little difficult to unplug, but it can be done. You'll have to take off the bottom (like with pretty much everything else on these!), and the modem is tucked into the corner beyond the Airport/PCMCIA cage.
