Hi pat, Yes he can attach a USB modem, best to buy one that states that its Mac compatible. Finding a driver might get a little hairy otherwise. Can't recall what the right brands would be, but a brief search on the internet should yield results. As an alternative, is the person in question contemplating ADSL at all?
