Shawn,
I agree with Kevin... getting a USB modem is quite a costly fix for
the sake of a couple of extra kbps, especially when seeking one with
Mac compatibility. How about using your laptop PC as an external
modem? Just set up your laptop to share its Internet connection and
connect it to your eMac's ethernet port.

Kevin,
The main problem is the difficulty connecting. I have to try 8-10
times with my eMac where my laptop PC connects the first time,
everytime.

Unfortunately. buying another modem will not cure your dial up speed.
I would investigate moving to some sort of high speed connection.
There are a number of wireless companies out there, however, cost
might be prohibitive. I would hazard a guess that the speed you are
connecting at with your eMac is the fastest it can do under the
circumstances. It will never be worth investing in a USB modem to
improve your speed by 2 kilo bits per second.
I wish you luck getting into high speed.

I live in a rural area and have a great deal of difficulty
connecting to my ISP with my internal modem in my eMac. When I do
connect (after 8-10 attempts) the best speed is 26400. My laptop
PC connects every time at 28800.
Has anyone experienced this problem? I am considering buying an
external USB modem to see if it works better? Any suggestions?
Comments are appreciated.
