Hi

Just had a call from a friends friend who has an imac and it sounds like the
recent lightning has blown her internal modem. Now I know its only a 5
minute job to put a new modem in a PC. Is it the same for imacs? Do they
use completely different modems etc. Should I just not have anything to do
with macs? i posted the question on alt.mac and got the reply that I should
just go to the Apple store!

Suggestions welcome.

Most of the imcas I've seen had "internal modems" built into the
motherboard. Your best bet might be to get an external USB modem. Apple
seems to make one:

Thanks - the Apple Store seems to be the place to go and helpful too.
