The CD drive I use is connected to my desktop PC... a $9.99USD "null
parallel" cable and a little patience is the minimum needed to get
software/music off of CDs.
If you are looking at getting a modem/ethernet anyway, the cable is in
between the two for speed and by far the cheapest.
That being said, I have the null parallel cable, a Viking V.90 modem
(about $86USD) and a 3com 3cxe589et 10baseT card ($69USD). I like having
them seperate because each takes less power than a combo card and if one
breaks, I still have the other.
But I don't think you need the CD - if you have access to another computer
(school, work, friend, relative) on a regular basis.
