DSL Stuff was Re: System Flakyness

[Kimberly Secor]

Kevin,
No customer of ours has had good luck no matter what ISP they are using or 
what OS they have with the internal 2100 or for that matter, I've heard 
nothing good about the external Intel 3200 modem.
Qwest is giving it away for free. When have you known this company to give 
ANYTHING away for free, if it is valuable?

I just received a 2100 in the mail from Qwest for DSL.  The 675 that I have 
been
using for the past two years is still chugging along great.  Needs a power 
cycle
every so often to get it working, but well, takes all of 6 seconds for 
that.

The 2100 is for a second DSL line (don't ask me, I just maintain the 
network
here at home), so my poor NT box gets to be the guinea pig to test it out 
(gotta
find that other 675 around here).
