So how are you going to set it up?   Are you going to use a modem to
dial in to your ISP?   Or are you going to use another *nix box as a
gateway to your broadband connection?

Personally, I would explore the latter.   But then, if your only other
machine is an iMac, you probably don't have a serial port available to
establish a null modem connection.  

If only you had a PC or another old world Mac with a serial port...
Hmmm...
