You need at least one nic in to use dsl...modem connects via cat5 cable to your nic.

Most DSL providers will offer a fairly economical NIC; a Dlink or something like that for $30 (for example).

You can probably get one over at the for sale/trade forum for a fairly good deal.

Some companies are now doing a DSL/Cable Modem that is USB, so a NIC is not needed, but a USB port is required.

The cable is cross over cable
