Cindy, If you are wanting to connect to your modem via the USB cable, this is not possible on the BrailleNote, because there is a driver that must be installed on the machine in order for the two to communicate properly. If you are wanting to use the USB connector with a computer, this will be possible, as you are able to install drivers onto a computer. A way that I find that will work if your friend does not have a router of some sort, whetehr that be a wireless or wired router. If your friend is using a computer, then they will be able to use the USB cable to connect to their modem, and they will have to install the driver, if it was not yet done. Then you will be able to use the ethernet connection, and you will need a ethernet card, if you do not have one yet.
I am sure that this will work out if all of the criterias above are met.

Broadband, by definition is not dial-up. Also, just because they have cable internet does not mean they have wireless. When I received my cable modem, it could either connect to a router or directly to my computer with ethernet. I did also note that my cable modem has a usb cable with it. Does anyone know if I can connect directly to the cable modem using the usb?
