Master of Reality:
a couple questions:
do macs use a different kind of network cable (other than rj-45 or coaxle)?

Is there anyway to use a modem kinda like a network card to hook it into a network??

cocoamix:
They use yer average, everyday Cat-5 cables.
I'm not sure what you're asking in your second question.

All G3 Macs and quite a few before that use regular CAT-5 cables.

Macs DO have something called Appletalk (the older ones, anyway) but it can't be used to do what you are describing.

cat-5 is the shielding level on it(isnt it?).

I only have a modem in my mac laptop and i dont have dialup internet, but i want to connect my mac to the net somewhow.

It is my understanding that you can ling up your mac to a local network and share the connection from there. That's how I share the DSL line at home. A couple of OS9 iMac's and one OSX. They are all connected to a local network and share the same DSL line.

Is this the sort of thing you are after?
