Here's what you need: <http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1286688165> It's a combination modem/ethernet card. Works great with the 5300 I have. There's also a built-in option that you can add. It's a combination ethernet/video out card that you install in place of the video card that's currently installed. It's made by Focus Enhancements (I believe) and once installed you plug in a dongle that provides a standard Mac video out port and an RJ45 port next to it. Does thousands of colors and works great. However it's a rather involved process which requires tearing apart the PowerBook. Not for a novice. One of the list members, David Wegener, has a number of them for sale.
