rod03801: I've had the AT&TYahoo DSL for a couple years. They gave my the modum and an ethernet card that had to be installed in the computer plus 5 (widgets) You must plug a widget into any phone jack in your house you use for a phone and then plug the phone into the widget. Plus one widget between the computer and a phone jack. One plus over some local dial up is the abiliety to use the computer and the phone at the same time. It made peace in my house. Can you believe I was accused of being on the computer all the time so the phone could never be used
