Why is the ADSL gateway better than standard dial-up modems?
First. Easy setup! You don’t have to install any new hardware. You simply connect the ADSL gateway to your computer and DSL line phone jack, perform the automatic software installation, and you’ll be surfing the Web within minutes. Second. Our gateways work with almost any computer, as long as you have an Ethernet, USB, or, in some cases, parallel port (see Technical Specifications for details). Third. The ADSL gateway is reliable. Also, because it is separate from your computer, you can keep your gateway on even when you turn off your computer. Back to top Does DSL affect the quality of my phone service? No. With ADSL you can make calls while surfing the Web, and your phone reception is just as crisp and clear as ever. And of course the phone still works when the ADSL gateway is unplugged or turned-off.
