Since you've only had it for a week (further to my earlier missguesstimate
of January ;P I *strongly* recommend that you upgrade to 10.2 pronto.
And, come to think of it, since you are asking about modem questions you
*don't* have high speed, do you ;P?
Definitely, harrass someone for a copy of 10.2.6 combo updater, or go into a
Mac store and see if they'll burn it for you (or sell it to you for $20 or
so).
As for why such an old eMac is still in the retail market... hmmm?

Unequivocally, NO!!! 10.2.6 is hands down the *best* Mac OS ever released
(to date). It's fast (vs. 10.1 and 9.2), *incredibly* stable and has a lot
of the 10.1.x-OS 9 compatibility bugs worked out of it. I would advise you
not to get used to doing thing in 10.1.x. That way you'll only have to learn
one new interface (OS X 10.2), not two (there are subtle differences b/t
10.1 and 10.2). However, if you do stay with 10.1 I advise updating to
10.1.5 (but, as I said before, 10.2 is *sooooooo* much better).
PS If your modem connection is stable enough you may be able to download the
10.2.6 combo updater (& if you're patient enough to let your phone line be
tied up that long). 86 MB should take between 6 and 10 hours to d/l on a 56K
line (best to do it at night).

Also, when you get the chance, download Safari, and go into the Preferences
and turn on tabbed browsing (you have to turn it on to get access to it).
Eric.
