allright, im trying to get DSL set up before i get my PC so i can delve directly into FFXI once i get the PC. i am planning on going through SBC-pacific bell for my DSL... my main question is do i need to have some kind of special jacks installed in my walls? next question being once the DSL in installed how much of a pain is it going to be to setup a router and dynamic IP for my PC (the DSL wont be connecting directly to the new PC)
any help, or if anyone knows where a DSL faq is, i'd apreciate it. --Woe |

I believe riel is referring to another type of DSL technology, called ADSL. This type of DSL uses your existing phoneline, so no additional wall drilling is required. Basically just buy a ADSL modem, plug it in, and you are good to go. Depending o ISP, they may require you to login inorder to be able to use. This is what i am using anyway.... |
