Ok, so I have an iMac (Not the new flatscreen one, the "generation" older), with Ubuntu PPC Linux installed on it. The modem.. well I havent a clue how to set it up. Anyone done this and want to write a walkthrough?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

See if you can find an Ubuntu version?
