Apple might have saved money by removing this cheap component, but it creates problem for end-users who can not get access to ADSL-type internet connection to send or receive email.
Apple is now proposing on the Apple store an external USB modem for 55 Euros.
Philippe has sent us a photo.
It is really small and works perfectly (nothing special since the integrated modem was also internally connected via USB0
It works for all Macs running 10.4.3. Be careful, it must be connected directly to the Mac USB port or via a powered-USB hub; the power delivered by the keyboard USB port is not high enough to use it.
