Do you have an ISP (Internet Service Provider) phone number that you can dial into? Or better than that, if you do already have an ISP, did they give you a software installation CD or something of that nature when you signed up for their services?

Actually, a better question is, do you have a 56k modem port on the iMac? That feature was phased out from the new iSight iMacs.
You have a built in 10/100 base ethernet and airport extreme if my memory serves correctly. Apple computers are made under the "who still uses dialup and diskettes?" mentality. For a company that likes to stay in the latest trend, those things are obsolete and considered useless. Which is true to the demographic they target. I don't personally know anyone who uses an iMac and NOT have broadband. If you MUST use dialup, you would have to get a USB 56k modem. One that has software that’s compatible with Macs. It will probably cost $50 or less. Depends on where you look and if you wait for a sale or not I guess. But if the above is not the case. Here's an article from the Apple website about how to connect the internet via dialup. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106717 Last edited by toramiko; Jun 07, 2006 at 11:41 PM // 23:41.. |

This should help ya out some...pay no attention to the numbers and info (connection number, username/password, DNS, etc.) for what they are putting in there on the screen shots, just use your ISP info.
