Go to nearest mac shop and ask there. MACs definatly can have NICs (Network 
Interface Card) and with coax too (friend off mine used in university to get 
connected to ip network) so nothing imposible :) All you need go to nearest 
MAC shop and ask them how much it costs and something about software. I know 
mac is user friendly but ... who knows. Never had any off those apple pices 
in my hands to do somthing more than telnet.
