Like my 33 year old son told me, "I didn't know they even still made those things."
I live in an RV in a mountainous area, there is no broadband available (except expensive and not so good quality satellite).
After upgrade to Lion, my old reliable 32bit apple modem would no longer work. I purchase a Zoom external USB modem and was able to get it working.
I upgraded my old 21" iMac to a new 27" iMac just before Mountain Lion was available.
This presents me with some "problems":
1. Software update, once it scans and presents me with updates available, I don't have seven days available. So any app updates not available from a vendor for remote download cannot be updated. Ever notice AppStore downloads don't work so well with dialup?
2. System update from Lion to Mountain Update is Wayyyy Out of the question.
3. I have an old PowerBook G4, that I can use remotely to get good broadband but am not able to download anything from the AppStore due to the G4 won't pass muster for system requirements to download anything.
4. I have no neighbors/friends within 15 miles or so that would have broadband available.
Other than dragging my 27" desktop 45 miles to an Apple Store (questionable whether they would even allow this at the store LOL) any helpful suggestions?
