Modem. Pretty much any ISP can. Most will "require" 9.1 or something but that's just plain cussid laziness. Any dialup provider supports PPP which can be handled by most Macs and Mac OS versions from 7.0 and up (and earlier but it gets messier). OS 8.5 and up are PPC only so the only way to run it on a PB520 is to get a PPC upgrade. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
