  • device with a CAT5 jack on it.

    Hello Ed!

    Besides the USB device I also saw another device with a
    CAT5 jack on it. That has me thinking about using that
    device in the place where the old DSL modem was plugged in
    the Linksys Router. Using that CAT5 device I could use
    either the XP or Vista PC as I used to do.

    If you are thinking of this solution..

    .. I don't think it will work for your situation. The adapters
    depicted in the article are usually designed to bring internet
    *to* the phone. But in your case, you want to tap into the
    internet *from* the phone.


    I WANT to get back to doing 'computing' as I used to do.

    Wifi or BT receiver/transmitter at your pc is easier.

    Thank You August,

    The PC Mag link gave me a 404 because the last part was placed on the next line as text.
    After logging off the BBS I will enter the full address in Firefox and read the article.

    Direct connections would work and be "easier" but You know from reading my posts that I like to complicate things.

    Your help is appreciated.
