You cant use a 56k modem, you need a special "modem" (It's not really a modem though). IMHO an ADSL router is best for you, just plug it in, connect your current network to it (connect your hub to the router), and change your clients to DHCP. It just works. If you just get the "modem", you need to plug it into a computer, set it up, then share your internet connection via that computer. It's cheaper, but much more complicated -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
