I have a NetSpeed 204 DSL Modem with a Ethernet out. It is old, ancient but never used. If you want you can have it for free. It also comes with a manual, 3 phone filters. Power cable, crossover cable. Just e-mail me off list if your still interested. On Saturday 19 April 2003 09:32 am, Jenny Charlene wrote: > Ok, so I decided to bite the bullet and finally get DSL.
