Don't quote me, but I heard from someone who knows a lot about telecomms,
that there is a new generation of ADSL connections coming Real Soon Now,
where the presentation is just the ADSL socket.
I.E. all this USB shenanigans will be done with,
and you can use your own devices,
such as an ADSL modem card in your PC,
or maybe a nice ADSL router box with built in wireless
(VIGOR 2200W for example). Mmmm.....


Welcome to GLLUG Richard.

And I agree with Tet - finding an old Pentium, or motherboard, with 
built in USB
may well be easier than getting bits for the 486.
