Hello everyone,

I am currently preparing to buy a new OS for my iMac G3, to override the passwords. But even through my limited access with the 'student' account, I can tell that this is obviously a superb and efficient machine. I'd like to hook it up to the Internet, but obviously, I can't do much with the limited access that I currently have.

I do have a phone cord, which I have connected from the iMac to the phone jack in the wall. Then I opened Internet Explorer with no results. I tried many combinations using an extra DSL box that plugs into the phone jack. Still nothing. I have looked around in the 'Mac Help' menu, and I gather that the iMac isn't actually connected to the web. And although I tried opening the menu necessary to change this, I didn't have the necessary access privileges.

The OS's that I have my eye on won't be available for a while yet, so I was wondering if there still is a way to connect to the internet until then?

Thanks,
