Will SBC Yahoo DSL work on a mac?

Question

More specifically, I'm going to receive I think it's a power mac g3 of g4. I've seen them in school computer labs, a monitor with a blue back. I'm currently on PC Windows XP. DSL works fine on my current computer. I want to switch and see if this DSL will work on that. Good idea or maybe not?

Answer 1

If the MAC uses TCP / IP protocol it will work.  Of course you need to configure the port properly.

If you wish to use both units on the same DSL service, connect the modem to a router and router (wired or wireless whichever you want) to the pcs.

Check your equipment that SBC provided.  You might find that it already has router capability.

Answer 2

The internet line has no idea what OS your running at all so it will work with MAC, Linux, Windows, OS/2, or anyother operating system!

In fact if you just put a small router online - you could use BOTH machines at the same time.. both would work and be internet connected. (May be a better solution if you have to click the "connect" button on XP to get a connection... not an issue if the router connects!)

ADD: ALL internet is TCP/IP  thats how it works, so your Mac will have that, it has too, its all part of the OS and networking!
