New Any reason why?
Why do I need a Com2? Also why do I need a modem? I got a Realtek 8029(AS) Ethernet 10bt PCI card which is as cheap as they get.

The modem will be better off on a different machine so I can use Juno as an Internet backup in case my SBC goes down. Juno does not have a Linux client yet.

Fine, you can skip the modem (was going to try administration over direct ppp link) as long as you have ethernet that works. How many machines can plug into your DSL router?

Why? Because we are men, and we make things work.

New DSL Router
4 Ethernet plugs and it has wireless too. I have a hub to connect more Ethernet machines to the router if needed.

I was going to go to Chicago to help my brother find a used car there tomorrow, chances are he may not want to go. I still need to study for my final exam.
