FYI:  Your CPU clock frequency and 'bus speed' are independent of 
your PCI bus speed.  Original PCI macs and clones have a 33Mhz bus 
and 66Mhz cards should operate as backward compatible.  If your ISP 
wants to install an internal PCI card, they need to make sure it is 
macintosh compatible (for software reasons).  If its an internal DSL 
modem, make sure its compatible.  If you get an external DSL modem, 
then you can just interface via the ethernet port.
