You are completely right. As I said, you can browse at 56k with a new modem keeping your original logic board (given that you have pulled out your slow modem card from the logic board, SORRY JOHN, I FORGOT TO SAY THIS). It is just that the last versions of Opera, Explorer or Netscape won't run very fast in a 5200 (even if you are not connected!) You can always use old versions of Netscape or text-based browsers, but you won't get far with them. If you are about to buy a new modem, perhaps it is not a bad idea to plug it to a better logic board. Javier -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
