Mac Mini modem module?

[hepcat57]

Does anyone know if an aftermarket modem module is available for the mini? If not, can this be added at a retail location? Yes, I do have broadband and don't really need the modem for everyday use...but would like to know if the capability is there if it is needed in the future. I have the $699 model and BTO wasn't an option since I wanted to use a corporate discount only available in the brick & mortar Apple Store. Thanks in advance.

Go the apple store, they can get it for you with the modem built in. Might have to order it.

Just to clarify...

I already own the $699 model and was looking for a way to have the modem module added onto my existing motherboard. The modem no longer comes standard on the Mini except for the base model. I bought it in person so I could receive my corporate discount, and therefore I chose from the stock models. I am looking to see if it can be added at this point without having to ship it to Apple.

Not so sure you can physically install a modem on the Mini's mobo to make it all in one, but I'm sure there's a USB modem somewhere out there that will work.

Hmm! Bluetooth modem! Since you have BT anyway...

Its not the prettiest thing in the world... and Its probably not worth the $100 but it works.

edit- didn't see the BT modem... I'd go with that one... it looks a lot better.

You could also get the AP Extreme Base Station that has the modem built in. This would let you use your dial up wirelessly as well, since your Mini has APX.
