Time for what I hope is not too embarrassingly obvious a question:
I have a PM7500. I'm planning on getting DSL service, and the provider says the user must provide his own Ethernet card. Under Ethernet for this machine, MacTracker lists "AAUI-15, 10BASE-T." Am I correct in thinking that this means my Mac already has Ethernet built in and that I do not need a card?
Thanks for your time and patience.

Yes, you have ethernet built in, but as in Apple's standard implementation of any standard technology. Apple's built in ethernet uses a non standard connector.
What you will need to get is an AAUI (Apple's ethernet port on your Mac) to a 10BT adapter. Here is one on ebay with a good picture. I am NOT the seller, I do not know the seller, I have never heard of the seller and have never even been in the sellers hometown (I hope that is enough of a disclaimer) and am telling you that you can get one off of the swap list for little more than the shipping cost.

Hope that helps.
