I recently acquired a lovely PowerBook 150. Great condition, and it's got 40MB of RAM -- I assume a previous owner had the upgrade done. I'd like to get this machine onto the Internet in some way, or at the very least connectible to another computer. Are the optional internal modems for these machines impossible to find, or am I just missing some arcane search term?

PB150 Internal Modem?

Ah, you posted about this on reddit the other day, didn't you?
Here's a picture of the rear ports (rather sparse, heh).
If you have a modem installed, it's behind the little door there.
My advice would be to find a SCSI Ethernet adapter, and use that instead of a modem… It'll probably be easier in the long run.

I did indeed post about this on reddit! The little door is missing from my machine. Inside, there's a concave metal plate filling the hole where a phone jack would be. I've opened the case up and the modem card physically isn't present.
I've got a LocalTalk network that I can use with this machine at home (as soon as I get it out of the boxes from moving, at least), but the modem would be nice to have too.
