    ADSL modem help for a noob to DSL........

    Try using the short names of the technologies mentioned: G-Lite and VP and VC. As far as I know, most modems support this. Also, stay away from USB based modems! Use an ethernet one even if it costs a little extra. I used to work for an ISP here in Israel and USB ADSL modems made my life...
