I am considering on getting a iMac that was made in 2006, would an iMac work with dial-up connection? You see, I have no internet in my home, and our dial-up connection is USB based. So if I connect the Dial-Up USB Connection to the iMac G5, would it be able to let me access the internet through that, or it isn't possible?
Yes, that should work (albeit slowly).
Some models included a modem.
Or you will have to find a usb modem.
Optional Apple USB Modem (MA034Z/A)
I friend of mine as AOL. Bargain with them to get the service for a lot less.
I have purchased the FreedomPop.com wifi mini-router for $40. You get 500megs for free service a month.

I've tested the Zoom 56K V.92 USB Mini External Data/Fax Modem (Model 3095F) on older Macs with a USB 1.1 port and it performs as well as older, serial port-based 56K modems, like those from US Robotics, Global Village, Zoom, etc. I've tested it with OS 9.x and 10.3.9, so you should have no problem using it with a G5. This modem comes with an installation disk that includes the modem scripts for pre-OS X and OS X. It retails for about $50 and is available at many stores - Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot, WalMart, etc.
Would an iMac G5 be able to support dial-up connection?
