USB DSL modem?

External Since: Jun 29, 2004 Posts: 7

I've been a bellsouth DSL customer since they started offering it in my
area 4 years ago. I still have the original Alcatel USB modem that came
with the service. I would like to setup a wireless network at home but
all the routers seem to be ethernet. Bellsouth wants $150 for a new
ethernet DSL modem. Is there any unit that is DSL modem and router in
one? I've heard of a USB to ethernet converter but can't find it at
CompUSA or Best Buy. Any help here will be appreciated.

As does D-Link;

Both seem to feature Ethernet and USB inputs.
