Title: DSL question
Post by: Krusher on November 14, 2001, 10:48:00 AM

MY wirless ISP was purchased by MCI and is now in the process of destroying a very good service with weekly outages.

I have decided to drop them and go with DSL (just now available in my area)

What type of router should I get USB or ethernet?

I use the SMC barricade router.  The link sys and SMC are both good routers. I like the SMC because it has a printer port on it.
