If you need one of those PCI 56k modem cards, I am pretty sure I have one here somewhere. Just PM me the address and I can ship it tomorrow today when I find it.
I have a couple laying around, with in arms length (ok it's actually across the room, but still) if you can't find any heh I can send
TWO in case you feel nostalgic and want to try Shotgunning them
I'd probably send 3 just to be sure at least
one works
Seeing as I haven't tested them due to the fact they came out of PCs I was given
BTW Barbaric, I'm out in the boonies too and there is no land-line service available; however, we do have SOME cell signal and I have put the Wireless Broadband (WWAN) modem taped to the window which helps with signal (we can't get service inside the house :shadedshu). While WWAN isn't exactly cheap, if he has a cell phone you could get a data plan and then tether to the computer for internet. I know that Verizon charges to have a Tethering Plan, but in all honesty I don't see
how they could know you are doing it if you don't use their software
Which is quite easy since you can dial into the network with a WWAN modem if you know the info
There is also a
sweet program for Windows Mobile (ver 6+ I believe) phones with WiFi, that turns the phone into a mobile hotspot/WWAN router

PM me Dank or Barbaric, if a modem is needed heh
