I'm attempting to fix my friend's imac. A week ago it decided to stop recognising its internal modem, and now only built in ethernet is shown under network port configurations. I have to say im more of a windows expert, is there a chance a modem service has managed to disable itself, or has the modem itself died? its a 350mhz imac running os x 10.2.8. Thanks for any help

There is a possibility that the modem is still good. Sometimes when the logic board (motherboard) is going bad the modem and/or USB ports will stop working. If it is the modem you should be able to pick one up for fairly cheap on eBay. Anything else out of the ordinary going on with the system?
