Going to get DSL. Have a question.

Dec 10, 2007 4:48AM PST

Hello,

I'm going to get DSL in the near future. I know that I will need to purchase the DSL modem from the company where I'll be getting my service. Would I also need to purchase an ethernet card for my computer as well?

Thanks.

"I know" = I'd check that out.

Here it's rented out and it's not a bad deal. You get a wifi dsl modem router that is supported by them and it works.

As to the ethernet card, they sell them or you buy one. It's cheap at geeks.com newegg.com at under 9 bucks.

Thanks for the information! It's good to hear that the ethernet card is a pretty cheap thing to get.
