I just retired a G3 350 iMac that my sister was using. Had a 40GB drive and 512mb of ram. It worked for occasional web surfing, email, and watching DVD movies. This was on broadband though. I think what you are realizing is that dial-up is horrible and not good enough for most modern websites. Any site that uses an flash, or javascript, or most any other plugin is going to run horrible. That takes out 75% of most websites. Some have mobile versions that should work ok on dialup.
