Sorry to split hairs, but I never said anything about PCI. And you can get an external, just not a serial, which I also never said anything about. You can pick up a USB external modem from Staples, the Multi-Tech MultiMobile 56K V.90 Data/Fax Modem, USB. So, a) you can get an internal, it just has to be an actual replacement part, no options for PCI, and b) you can get an external, it just has to use a port that is actually present on the Sawtooth. (like USB or Firewire) And this doesn't even get into the ridiculous territory of buying a Keyspan SX Pro Serial PCI Card, plugging it in, and then buying a US Robotics external Supra Express, and using that. (Which I'm pretty sure you can do, it's just of dubious value). That all said, I think the best option is to get an internal apple part from any of a number of vendors or the swaplist. ;) -Lavode -- "Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are." -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
