I was told it would be a ethernet modem so sounds like I will be good to go without to much trouble. I messed with one of these things a long time ago but I couldn't remember what I had to do to set it up. I also figured things may have changed since then too. It was several years ago. Thanks for the info. I guess I don't need rp-pppoe for this to work. Dale :-) :-)
