You can buy a new external USB modem for around $100 or less. > I had a beige G3 (revA) with an internal modem die 3 months after buying the G3, so this was a warrantee repair. After the part modem being on order and took 10 days I watched the CompUSA tech (where I bought the G3) replace the modem. It took all of 10 minutes & that's with him taking time to choose a music CD and the track.
I signed the service contract & the repair quote was $439! Which included the cost of the new modem. But still. It's my understanding that the cost scale works something like a mechanics. If the repair book says it takes 2 hours to replace the front brake calipers, then they charge for that time.
