It's not the same model, but I've set up a couple of DSL modems just with a browser. Try connecting to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 and see what you get. If it's initial DSL service, you also have to go to an activation page at the ISP's site. But, since you already had service, I expect you just have to configure the new DSL modem.

I took it to a volunteer organization that can do equipment testing among other things and it got lost or stolen there. If stolen, I view that in the same way I view someone who steals a Bible, they must really need it and I hope they get all they deserve out of it. I will be reimbursed for the loss since before the loss a technician took responsibility for the equipment. The new dsl modem I have now is an actiontech gateway router modem dual combo with ability to work wirelessly or through conventional ethernet connections. I'll be using conventional ethernet connections since I have no wireless cards and don't especially trust wireless security. I did get a braille copy of the numbers to set up wireless and the modem's mac id and serial number all the stuff on the outside of the box so I'll have that option at some future date. Is windows needed to do the first install of these modems or can adsl-setup and adsl-start and dhcpcd handle the job? _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
