[G5] iMac modem

[Joe Sporleder]

AT&T should provide a DSL "modem" that will have an ethernet port (or  
several, like a ethernet switch/hub). It will also have a phone port  
that the DSL line (telephone line) will be plugged into. The iMac  
will connect to the DSL "modem" via ethernet. The Apple USB Modem is  
for dial up services (plain old telephone system), so it wouldn't  
help you with DSL.
