DON'T let them stick you with a USB modem, Carl. If they try, refuse, and if they say that's all they got then tell em to go their @ss to the shop and get another Ethernet modem. Tell em your USB ports are fried or something
. If you're getting this from SBC/Telco, then chances are very good that you're gonna get an Efficient 5260 which is actually a 5660 which is a pretty decent router.
