I've been with Qwest/Deru for over a year now and Qwest is starting to 
charge me  $5/month for the modem.
It's an Actiontec[sp] and is also a router.  I've got 2 Linux, 1 Mac, 1 
Windows for scanning (Parallel port scaner).

I can't seem to find a DSL modem anywhere to replace this one.  I'll 
most likely bee in the same hove for 2 more years so a $80 price tag 
isn't unreasonable.
