I'm sure there are USB modems out there that work with the Mac,  
because Apple itself now makes one (a TINY thing, too!) for the iMac  
G5, which does not offer an internal telephone modem.

Regrettably, Apple's USB modem is ONLY available for the iMac at this  
point, and it's $49 even if you could buy it separately. Google "USB  
modem Mac" and you're likely to find something.

OR ... you COULD take this as a sign from above that you're destined  
for broadband! :)
