Dear David,
Just jumps into the ongoing discussions. 
I will have the possibility to get ADSL which is what I assume the DSL you 
are 
talking about. As you did connecting DSL for a living you are the right 
person to ask my question.
I thought that in order to connect an ethernet card to the digital line you 
need something like a router. Is that right? 
As far as I know my ethernet card there are two connectors, one for a 
shielded 
cable and one for a flat stecker for a more elaborate flat cable.
Is there some box between these connectors and the ADSL connection?
