<<Then this is ADSL, which does analog telephony and DSL over the same wires?! If it's not, then you'll need that second pair still.>>Well, it is basically the same set of wires. I believe a standard phone uses just 2 wires. There are like 8 in there.
My understanding is that SBC will provide "DSL filters" (for a price) to allow phone or fax usage while connected -- guess this means it is ASDL.
I have SBC DSL. It is great. You get a regular telephone line and a DSL line. Two different jacks.
<<IF your DSL service permits multiple computers (and IP assignments for them) then a hub or switch will work just fine.>>Actually, SBC does offer static IPs. I have that service. I believe they call it the enhanced service. It is $79 a month instead of $49
No, just one dynamic IP
ADSL means Asymmetric. Meaning that you get stuff sent to you (Downloaded) really fast. Up to 1.5 Mps or something, and uploads are like 128K........which kind of sucks. SBC does offer upgrades in that department as well.
