Hello, I've been thinking of subscribing to a DSL service being offered by my ISP. I've been with them for many years and the service has been great. They do offer a self-install kit or professional installation, at an added cost.
My concern is that I would like to connect a G3 Lombard to the DSL service and since the laptop has an internal modem, I'm not sure I can even do this. Has anyone out there had experience with connecting a Powerbook with an internal modem to DSL service? The ISP also offers a SLIPSTREAM modem as part of the DSL hookup but makes no demand that their own modem be used. I would guess that another brand of modem might require additional concerns for installation and hookup. I have no experience with DSL and would like to know what might be some of the other modems for this purpose? Is a combination modem/router a good route to take for connecting to a DSL line? Lastly, since it might be desirable to have a firewall with the DSL service, what might be some of the best types to use? Is this even a necessity with a Mac computer? Thanks.
