A big thank you to everyone who responded with helpful suggestions - 
Mary, Alex, Eric, Terry, Luke. I will try and do as you say.

The 450 G4 that I bought at Mac Outpost must have been one of a rare 
few that didn't come with a built-in modem - something that I didn't 
discover until after the fact.

In answer to one of the posts, I did check with Rogers about a cable 
modem. Since I am about 100 yards away from the last Rogers 
installation (across a major intersection) and since they would have 
to go underground, the tech estimated the initial cost to be $25,000 
to $30,000 - a bit over my budget. I know Sympatico has high speed, 
but I am probably 3 miles from the switching station and would not 
benefit greatly - perhaps 120K.

Just out of curiosity, my USB 56K modem usually connects at 49000 
bps. The USB port has a throughput of 12Mb, but the typical download 
speed is around 1500 - 1800 bps. What is causing the bottleneck?
