I have a rev a imac that received a surge through my DSL connection during a storm and thus fried the ethernet port. How easy or difficult is it to fix (I'm not a very good with the sodlering iron) or are there usb to ethernet adapters available??

No way you can fix it, unless you can locate exactly where the problem lies and get it fixed by a good soldering person.


USB 1.1 Ethernet adapters are limited to an effective transfer rate of 10Mbit/s, despite often being labeled as 10/100baseTX. They are essentially very slow, but would be fine for DSL alone.
