Yes you are/were on the right track and you do have USB port(s) and support.
This little Intel utility tests for USB support on your system. It checks
your computer's OS, hardware, and drivers.

Hmm, I guess Bellsouth is moving ahead. Most DSL modems and connections all

really new and I have no experience with setting them up.
