Dr. Tom, I've never hear of a company other than Apple that combines a wireless/wired router with a built in modem.

Other brands, if they have an Ethernet connection, will do the job. I would not play around with USB. Ethernet is a more standard and flexible way to do this. With Ethernet you will even be able to add another computer without any trouble. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
