Er it isnt necessarily supposed to have one. I think education models did but consumer models had a modem instead. You can use a comms slot II eternet card - but this slot may be occupied by the internal 33k modem. Or you can get a PCI ethernet card but then use up your only PCI slot. I have tried both with mine but use the comms II card as I will put a firewire/usb card in the PCI. You don�t need a comms slot I card. If you get a card without the ethernet driver you should be able to get it online from the makers site. I found it easy to change or add the cards - just observe basic care and safety practices. If you want to know more ask away ;-) Hope this helps Regards Brian -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
