Yep, a cell modem. It has a cute little cellular antenna on top of it. You can
only get money and statements from it. You can't use it to make deposits.

ROFLOL!

A few years ago I worked with some friends who stated up an ISP. Two of the
partners in the company were basically computer illiterate. The third partner
and I were the only ones who had computer knowledge. We were constanly messing
with the icons and files on the other two computers throught the LAN.

The other two guys figured we were doing it but they couldn't figure out how we
did it. This was back when the "dancing baby" animation first hit the net. One
of the other guys saved it to his desktop and show it to anyone and everyone
who would happen by. My friend hid the file and associated the icon with a
picture of a naked fat woman. When the guy double clicked on it to show some
woman the "cute dancing baby" he was surprised and you never saw someone turn
off a monitor so fast. :-)
