Nice machine, but ditch the GeoPort Modem. Replace it with a Comm Slot II Ethernet Card for broadband and use an external 56K modem.

Most standard modems should work. The trick is to find a hardware handshaking modem cable. Can anyone say if a USB Modem will work with this puppy?

Consider yourself lucky that it has 96MB of RAM. Good upgrades would be an ATI Radeon PCI Card and a combo FW/USB Card (or Sonnet Trio). If you prefer internal video (or can't find an ATI Rage 128 or better PCI video card for Mac) you can use separate FW and USB cards.
