Re: SBC DSL and NT. |

SBC usually sends out Westel Wirespeed DSL modem RJ45, the one I got I have
5 static IP's and once the phone line comes in it goes out to a switch to
the wireless access point/router
the to the other four machines in my LAN. Once you get the signal decoded
from the modem you can run it through a hub if you like to the other
machines.
10/100 Hub, five people standing in a room talking all at once. (Slowest)
10/100 Switch, Same five people talking to each machine which cannot hear
the others. (Faster)
10/100/ 802.11/a/b Router 54g / wireless, Traffic Director, each machine
get's it's own information without polling the other machines for where it
goes.
However now SBC is using "sticky addresses" and sending out a new router /
modem combo for customers like me, (5 static's)

Unfortunately the modem they send uses a USB port.
Interesting. What modem is that? The default modem is usually
a speedstream 5100b with an ethernet connection.
Hmm. That's interesting. I haven't recieved it yet, I'm going by what
the sales person said which was USB.
Would seem kind of dumb because I'm not even sure that USB can handle
the speed, but USB is on most Windows computers, I don't know that
ethernet is.
There do exist USB modems. They should handle the speed. Maybe SBC
is sending you the 2Wire, which does USB and ethernet.
_Allegedly_ does USB...
