Hello all,

I wanted to know what exactly was involved if I transfer over to a DSL internet connection. What I meqan by this is where does the Ethernet cable plug into on my computer(in network card?? or what) and do I need a special device to use DSL?
One more question I had was where are you suppose to plug the cable in(on the wall-i know not phone jack)??

Someone please make it clear for me and tell what I need to get a DSL Connection.

Telephone company will install a filter that the DSL modem will plug into. It uses the same connector as your phone line. From the modem, you will have a CAT5 network cable that will plug into an ethernet card (NIC) on your computer. Other than that, no special equipment required.
