It probably got fried by lightening and so the Modem will not work although the dial-up will. I had this happen and so I just used the dial up..but that was in about '99.

You probably need to do some configuration depending on how you connect your computers to the Internet. Many versions of the Mac OS allow Internet Sharing. Tell us more about your setup, especially how you connect to the 'Net. The Cuda switch is a reset switch. You will probably never need to use it. The mezzanine slot is something Apple built into the earliest iMac motherboards for diagnostic testing - it was never intended for any other purpose.
