An ASDL mdoem is fairly self contained. You have a cable which plugs
into the telephone socket via a microfilter/spliter, you'd have one of
these on all your phone sockets (well ones where you are connecting any
to) anyways.  Then either an USB or Ethernet (preferred) cable
connecting to the pc or switch or whatever and of course power supply.

My ASDL modem/router isn't much bigger than my analogue modem.


As for wireless costs, off the top of my head, about £100 for the AP and
$50-60 for wifi cards.

Others should be able to give better details.. ;)
