It&#8217;s a pretty slick machine, faster then any of the Macs that I have. <br \/>My mom has a dialup account through <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.wesleyan.edu\/\">Wesleyan University<\/A>, and I have to say that I&#8217;ve found their dialin setup to be pretty annoying.  First off, you have to be able to script all the connection stuff, since it doesn&#8217;t seem to allow you to use other forms of authentication.  This has proven to be a bit of a pain, since OS X doesn&#8217;t seem to have support for scripting a login connection. (Has anyone run into anything for this? I was thinking I might be able to do something with Applescript, but I really don&#8217;t know enough about it).<br \/>The other annoying thing I&#8217;ve noticed about wesleyan is that their modems only seem to be 33.6.  As a result, when I&#8217;m doing things I dial right into AT&#038;T\/Mediaone and access things that way, since they have 56K modems.  My big goal now is to convince my parents to let me get them cable modem service for 6 months to a year to see how they like it.  It would definitely make coming down to visit them a bit more bearable :).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been down at my parents a bit this weekend (and am on from there now actually) helping them get online with their new PowerMac G4.
