Have a THIRD computer now, has a realtek ethernet in it. Can this be configured to use as a modem? Do I have to get a seperate modem and the ethernet is just for use with dsl/cable? I can only get dial up where I live so do I need to replace the ethernet card with a modem? Between the 3 of these I'll get a computer working eventually!!! Just for info, this is a home built computer, not by me but by the time I get one of these working I'll probably be able to!!!

I dont think there is any way you can use an ethernet card as an modem.
But an modem shouldn't cost more then $5/10 or someting like that.

thanks Joe..that's what I thought but from reading it sounded like some could be used as modems, I misunderstood. So if I took the Livewire modem out of the compaq and put it into this one do I leave the ethernet card in? Maybe I can take pieces and parts from all three to get at least one working!!!??

Yes, you will have no problem running the modem and ethernet card in the same PC.

Thanks!!! You guys are great!!!!

Thanks for the compliment...keeps us informed of your progress.
