This setup is as straight forward as can be. The user doesn't want 
wireless, just to be able to use DSL and print to his Laserwriter 
8500 without manually plugging and unplugging ethernet connections. 
The DSL modem supplied has the option of USB connection but drivers 
are available only for Windows. The simplest solution is to find an 
ethernet hub that will recognize this modem. The manufacturer of the 
Hub (Farallon) seems to be out of business.
