Hey there,

Well, did you go and try to use the manaul setup where the user has to setup his own DSL ??
I am assuming so. I have heard a few probs with the DSL modems not being recognized by the
comp. If that is the case....try and send it back to get a CAT 5 modem....a network card is only about
$15-25 for Netgear, Linksys, or Dlink. I also think I saw some 3COMS for $40. Is there any kind of software accompanied
with it like drivers or anything else ??

Let me know what you find
