I haven't used a modem in years, and last time I bought a custom box I told them to leave the modem out. Hell, I figure ten bucks is ten bucks, right, and I'll never use the thing. When I was browsing the WalMart site looking at those boxes, I noticed it was a winmodem and checked a few of the models, only finding something in the higher price range that I could see specifically mentioning a LAN. I was encouraged in reading that review, that I got the impression maybe they all had LAN cards. or chips. -- -CraigW -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
