I would suggest a 28.8 or 33.6k modem, unless you might use the modem on a newer mac at a later time and then you could go with 56k. I personally like Global Village modems, mostly because they look nice, and they're simple. There's also no serial adapter cable to hunt down for them like most other brands (db9 to din-8 or db-25 to din-8). I'd recommend joining LEM Swap List and post a want to buy ad. I see them somewhat regularly for $10 or less. I'm guessing the ethernet question has already been answered to death, but if you go with an Apple or Assante, the drivers are built into the operating system. I use an Assante in my SE/30 and my SE, and they work fine. All my LC type computers (LC II, LC III, and LC 550) seem to have Apple cards and also work fine. I'd say whatever you can get for cheap, and whatever you can get with an RJ-45 jack. Hope this helps, J White Buy American S.O.S.
