The new issue with SBC DSL is that they now provide
something called HomePortal 2-Wire service. Basically
what they do is send you a DSL modem that has their
own firewall built into it. I also believe you still
have to install software on your computer to get it to
run.
If you look on their shopping site, the 2-wire portals
cost $149-199 depending on what you want on them
(wireless, etc). They still offer the Speedster modem
for $99. The speedster modem is what works if you
have your own firewall/router.
So if you do SBC DSL, you need to be very Specific in
what you want.
Just ask Angela and Curtis. I hear there was a lot of
swearing at the house because of that issue. :-)
