Robert, This is an update on the modem/router question. I
spent some time with Mr. Google and found a forum with
people who had the same modem I did and also looking for a
power suppply. One person posted a phone number he found
direct to the 2 wire company, called and received a power
supply free. One other said he used the number and had the
same result.
I decided to find out if it really did work. I called
Wednesday, and today, three days later, It arrived free of
charge and I had not even bought the modem. One gold star
for AT&T.

<DIV>Marion, first you need to determine the voltage,
the polarity, and the
amps, or wattage. If the amps or watts of a power supply are
adequate, and the
voltage is the same, then you need to know whether the tip
or ring is + or -. If
this is baffling, the kindest thing to say is,
"fuggedaboudit.<wbr>" There is
no sense spending money, and time, and ending up burning out
the modem/router.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Some of the specs may be available on the
internet. I gather the unit
you have acquired is used. In either case, I would Google to
get
opinions on the device. If it is not rated highly, it might
be best to buy
something else. Power supplies are expensive, as they are
designed for
specific units. I have a universal one, which allows
adjustments for all of the
above factors, within its rated wattage. But, that is still
a bit of bother.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, see if the unit is worth keeping. If so, see
about getting a deal
on the power supply that is designed for the
unit. Otherwise, you may
be better off getting a router, and using the old modem.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Another important consideration is, will the
modem, and software, be
compatible with your present DSL service. You may have to
check with them to
find out. </DIV>

<DIV>Let us know what your search

Hi, Marion.
Don't you mean a gold star for the 2 wire company. I had never heard of
them before; but, I am impressed.
So, are you confident that the modem will work with your present ISP?
