My suggestions, You might want to call you ISP and let them know to forget about the PCI modem. I'm not sure on the status of drivers for PCI ADSL modems but I'm sure it's far from perfect. The best way is to get an Ethernet modem. The Alcatel would obviously be the 1st choice but the old versions are not sold anymore and the new ones cost a bit much. Therefore you can get the Samsung ethernet modem which costs 240 nis at Bezeq store. There is more than one reason for doing this:
1. By getting an ethernet modem you remove the necessity of your OS supporting an exotic hardware such as an ADSL modem. In place, your OS only needs to support an Ethernet card and support for those is GOOD, VERY GOOD! :-) 2. By not getting a modem from the ISP, you don't need to commit to any time period. This is quite important nowadays. 3. The Samsung is much better than either the USB or the PCI crap modems. It will not give you a hard time, probably.. :) Eli PS. I forgot a few reasons... sorry.
