Margot, you really should be asking them for a list of recommendations. ADSL is not totally universal as far as equipment goes, so the kind of modem that you need is going to be determined by the hardware at the DSLAM and phone company, not based on the operating system you run. According to their web page, they support the Speedtouch 330 USB DSL modem as well as the Netgear DM602 router/modem. Personally, I would go for the Netgear if I were you, it will hook up to your ethernet card and should be as close to plug and play as you get. The USB option is more likely to result in possible compatibility problems. -- Bryan Phinney
