Rogers should have Mac compatible cards available. I would check with their Mac tech people about whether you should be able to run the card they gave you or whether you need to exchange it. Alternately, you could check with the card's manufacturer on the net. > > 2.

I would expect any DSL router to have an uplink port. This is the port you would use to connect to your hub. I have had no problems with my Linksys SR41 (4 port switch). You can buy DSL routers without an integrated Ethernet switch if you want to use your hub. Note: a true switch is better than a hub if there is much traffic (more than 2 computers using it at once). > > 3.

I would think it is OK, you could check some tech details to make sure the IIcx PS delivers at least as much power (watts) as the OEM 650/7100 PS. Since the IIcx had a lot of support for add-in cards I would expect it would produce a decent output. Any problems aren't likely to develop unless you have a lot of add-in cards, drives, etc. hooked up. -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
