I hate suggesting to a customer plugging in a computer straight to the DSL modem because a lot of times, especially at a business location, it's difficult.
However, 9 times out of 10 if you put a little effort into finding the DSL modem, it's usually not 'too difficult' to then unplug the cable and then plug a cable from the modem into a laptop.
If it's so difficult you can't do this, whoever placed the modem there to begin with ought to have their ass kicked.
Not impossible, but with the DSL modem at least ten feet off the floor, it's a royal pain. I have found someone at Verizon who has offered to look at the situation, however. Thanks to you and especially to Richard G who offered to go out there, but hopefully a site visit will not be necessary. -- Steve Sobol, Professional Geek ** Java/VB/VC/PHP/Perl ** Linux/*BSD/Windows Victorville, California PGP:0xE3AE35ED It's all fun and games until someone starts a bonfire in the living room.
