a new and different dsl modem

[Jim Kutsch]

It's not the same model, but I've set up a couple of DSL modems just with a 
browser.  Try connecting to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 and see what you get. 
If it's initial DSL service, you also have to go to an activation page at 
the ISP's site.  But, since you already had service, I expect you just have 
to configure the new DSL modem.

The old westell 2200 modem managed to get lost or stolen I can't be
certain.  I took it to a volunteer organization that can do equipment
testing among other things and it got lost or stolen there.  If stolen, I
view that in the same way I view someone who steals a Bible, they must
really need it and I hope they get all they deserve out of it.  I will be
reimbursed for the loss since before the loss a technician took
responsibility for the equipment.  The new dsl modem I have now is an
actiontech gateway router modem dual combo with ability to work wirelessly
or through conventional ethernet connections.  I'll be using conventional
ethernet connections since I have no wireless cards and don't especially
trust wireless security.  I did get a braille copy of the numbers to set
up wireless and the modem's mac id and serial number all the stuff on the
outside of the box so I'll have that option at some future date.  Is
windows needed to do the first install of these modems or can adsl-setup
and adsl-start and dhcpcd handle the job?
