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

[Thomas Hidderley]

For some reason that URL does not go directly to the modem. Just  
enter USB Modem in the search window and it will get you there. Here  
is Apple's blurb.


Overview
The Apple USB Modem is a simple, one-piece external USB modem that's  
perfect for people who use a dial-up connection to access the  
Internet and do email. It's small, light, easy to install and even  
easier to use.

Just plug it into the USB port on your Mac, then connect your phone  
line to the other end. Open the networking preference panel in Mac OS  
X, enter your connection information, and click connect. Now you're  
ready to start surfing, emailing, instant messaging and more.
