You can probably find a Comm-slot modem for cheap. However, realize that both the Apple-branded and the Global Village/Boca modem have serious problems holding onto connections and giving you decent speed over any but perfect phone lines. I am not sure about USB solutions but you should run MacOS 9.1 or 9.2 to make sure you have decent USB support. Most PCI modems are Losemodems (actually Winmodems but you know what I mean) so they would not run under MacOS. In short: get Broadband. Every Blue-And-White has 100 base T ethernet, so you are well-set for Broadband. Hope this helps, -//<-H- -- Michelle Klein-Hass Box 2273, Van Nuys, CA 91404-2273 Spam me and you pay!
