A DSL Modem would hog up most of the bandwidth of USB. A high end DSL Modem would need 8Mbit/s. At the low end, 1Mbit/s. USB's theoretical bandwidth is 12Mbit/s, but I haven't see any actual throughput numbers on a real system. USB is a shared bus. When you start adding mice and joysticks, and cameras, etc. what happens to the throughput? You also need Win 98. Firewire would be the way to go. 100+Mb/s would leave you plenty of BW for the rest of your toys. Makes you want to run out and buy a whole new PC doesn't it ? big john
