i'm giving my ibook g4 to my mother in law (hey she treats me very nice, great baker) and she would like a simple internet service. not ready to pay the $$$$ for broadband.

what's the best dialup for mac. I don't think i need to spend more than $10 per month with mac i don't think accelerator software works. so how about helping me give my mother a nice mac and internet. (she makes killer coconut cream pies yum yum)



is there a special set up for using dialup???



thanks

    I've seen DSL as cheap as $15. I think 56k is $10 and I highly think the $5 is worth it for the experience.

    AI quoting isn't working



    they live in a rual area i'll check about dsl but they live about 6 miles from town.



    what about the national isp e.g. earthlink???

    i will look into a local isp as well.

    i want to be able to use firefox and a very simple interface for them to dial in to the isp



    netscape is cheap if you pay a year in advance something like $7
