What would I need? The whole business of Macs and ADSL is discussed from time to time in uk.comp.sys.mac- you'll probably get useful info there. As I remember it, from earlier discussions, it mostly hinges on the (non) availbility of Mac drivers for the low-end USB TAs for ADSL. The Ethernet option is perfectly suited to the Mac, but I don't think it's part of the low cost options. I may be talking bollocks, but I've cross-posted your query to u..c.s.m. where there are people who know what they're talking about. Probably. -- Peter
