[A Bit Further OT] - MacBook Modem or External?

[Groover David]

Just in the FWIW dept., I have an older aluminum G4 PowerBook. Mine  
is 12" and has an internal modem but I am pretty sure any in that  
series have a built in modem. These are G4 machines and not modern as  
far as Intel and Leopard goes (I hear it will run Leopard but slowly  
- I will stay in Tiger for now).

Still, if you can still find them on Appels refurb list, they are a  
good deal, as far as your described use goes. Otherwise yes, I am  
sure you can find plug in modems like the old school days. Good luck.
