If the Pismo is running OS X 10.4.3 or later, and installing Tiger on a
Pismo requires using XPostFacto or some other hack.

Great! - based on your post, I contacted a different
"certified Apple repair" establishment. They indeed said
it was possible to install a "Spring" modem.

I am roughly 1,500 feet from their nearest switch panel, which
probably has the DSL stuff.
Rural phone company tells me they have no "port" available for
my area, that they will order some hardware to remedy that.
They say the hardware could take as long as two months to order
and install.

Have a hunch I will really need that protection too,
because I run Vista on a Boot Camp created partition
with the NTFS. (32 bit file system)
Windows crackers would love to get hold of a person's
medical history, great blackmail potential.

pardon? In my opinion the Pismo has everything required for a straight
installation of MacOS X 10.4.x, like G3 and FireWire...

It says:
"requires System 9.0 or later; Mac OS 9.2.2 and OS X 10.3.9 recommended,
10.4.x can generally be installed using XpostFacto 4."
