I won't comment on cable, but DSL modems are indeed modems. Not like a 56k modem or something, but a modem nonetheless. The actiontec is actually both a modem and a router, and a dhcp server and a firewall and a broken dns server... you get the picture. It's primary purpose is to be a modem, the rest is secondary. -- Hans Fugal ; http://hans.fugal.net There's nothing remarkable about it.
