[SC.LUG] USB DSL Modems

[Tom Mitchell]

Hi,
I am a newbie here. I use Xandros 3.0.2 and connect using a wireless 3com 
office connect router. These are cheap at the moment and i have had no 
problems for over a year. It came with  a free usb stick it works easily 
under Xandros with Ndiswrapper.
All the best
Tom
