If I do go ahead with a dsl line it will be attaced to this FBSD machine, but I forgot that I'll have to change my cabling. I use coax now, so I'll have to switch to UTP and get a hub. Hmmm, this may get a tad expensive. >From what I have seen of perusing stuff on dsl most, if not all the dsl adapters have an ethernet port on them. Guess I'll just wait and see. Thanks, Keith.
