The on-board ethernet port being used by the DSL modem, leaves no  
ethernet port without using a router of some kind to connect other  
macs to a network. Yes, there are several "ways" to network two macs  
together (Airport, firewire) but the nice thing about ethernet is that  
all macs that I play with have it. Not all of them have firewire and/ 
or airport.

and yes, though a nice Airport extreme base station would do the  
trick, the ethernet card was considerably cheaper. Jeff
