ok i posted about something similar a few days ago. ok so if i have a macintosh se isnt that the one with the ethernet conection? so if i were to plug this computer into a phone line, could it acces a form of the internet? could i go to websites such as facebook or apple or youtube? i know its in black and white but if it has ethernet, it can be connected to the internet right?
Hi,
The Macintosh SE did not have Ethernet as standard, but it was possible to install a network card.
It was also possible to connect an external serial modem to the MiniDIN-8 modem port. With an appropriate program (such as MacPPP 2.0.1), one could establish a dial-up connection. In addition, TCP/IP software (the MacTCP control panel) and a suitable browser and/or an email program would be needed. Please note that this would be extremely limited (in principle, simple web pages with text only).
For more information, the following could perhaps be of interest.

As Jan mentions you can get a PDS slot ethernet card for an SE but I don't think you will find a web browser that is supported under OS 7 that can be used to view Facebook and especially YouTube videos.
apple macintosh se or macintosh plus ethernet?
