Note that I avoided using the word "cable" and just said       modem. :)              > It uses a two wire cord plugging into a port on the back that resembles       > a phone jack. So on that basis, I think it's a router.              Your description sounds like an ADSL modem + router. ADSL (Asymmetric       Digital Subscriber Line) is how phone companies convey data over phone       lines. If it were just a router, it'd have Ethernet for both WAN and       LAN.              >> Isn't there a label somewhere on it that has the model number?        -WBE              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
