There are three means that I know of to connect your PC to DSL. The first is that the DSL modem has an ethernet port on it. Actually though most of these are wired the same as an ethernet hub. (Thus if you then connect it to a hub it needs to be in either the uplink port, or use a cross over cable.) The next is a modem that connects via USB port. Then there are internal varieties. I would recomend that you ensure you get the ethernet variety. All others depend on your OS to work properly. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net The mind is like a parachute; it works much better when open.
