56K is dialup internet. Your computer would dial the internet provider using a modem connected to regular phone lines. It was very slow compared to DSL or Cable internet we have now. Though I don't know anyone (even those who live in the sticks) who still uses dial up internet, some people do have a fairly slow connection (Like me..internet on base is always slow). Knowing that a thread has lots of high res photos is kind of nice sometimes, so you aren't getting pissed off waiting for them to load- you have a heads up already that it will be slow.
Back on topic- I did this mod awhile back, but used 5/16" plugs from Lowes. They fit OK. The ones listed in this thread look like they would stay in the holes a lot better. The head on mine seems thinner than those mentioned here, though. Also, my car is black- so no paint needed woot!
