You'll simply need to install a PCI Ethernet card. I'm kind of surprised that SBC didn't offer to send one with your starter package. A look around online should turn something up pretty easily, Asante is VERY Mac friendly. Or you could post on the LEM Swap list. People are always selling PCI ethernet cards. As someone experianced with these matters, do yourself a favor, and buy a router and DO NOT INSTALL the god awful pile of dung software that SBC sends you. As others can attest, usually it'll just make stuff go haywire. Very unstable. Plus a router is a nice added bit of security. I takes quite a bit of skill for a hacker to bypass a router. -Rob -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
