I only asked because I was given three choices with the free DSL installation... A: pay Quest an additional $199 for some router they claim connects to the USB port (1. what USB port? Heheh. 2. Since when does a router hook to USB anyways? These are ethernet devices, right? Yes they say, with a USB connector. They dont know what for. Neither do I... a router with a USB connector seems pretty stupid to me - USB isnt exactly like RS232 - USB is anything but convienent to properly implement - are there even USB dumbterms that might be used in the field to set up a USB router?) In any case, I bet I can get something better cheaper, especially considering their sales rep who makes commission on the phone-sale of the DSL to me also indicated this... B: the free Intel internal DSL modem. C: Nothing at all. I figured what the hell, might as well get the modem. If nothing else, it will probably have a good metal backplane on it, right? :-) I asked: > > Does this sucker work with Linux? > > Intel 2200 Qwest DSL Modem Craig White wrote: > Don't know - they barely work on Windows.
