That's all hogwash. DSL need know nothing about any computer. Never connect any computer directly to any cable or DSL modem. Get a cable/DSL internet hardware router/firewall/switch for as little as $40 excluding any rebates from Staples or Office Depot or Wal Mart or wherever. "Connect" (network, either wired or wireless) the computer to the internet router. "Connect" the internet router to the DSL modem. Use your web browser to configure your internet router with whatever custom settings SBC may require if it fails to work immediately right out of the box. -- "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord."
