Well, Robert, I hope so. The packing slip has the same
AT&T header with the AT&T logo as is on my phone
bill. The part description says "1701 HG FTTP Power
Supply"
which is the model number of my modem and what I asked for.
It also states to call my ISP AT&T Yahoo if there are
any DSL questions. There was a place for a rebate sticker
where it said "if you purchased AT&T Yahoo High
Speed Internet as part of a promotion you may qualify for an
equipment rebate" .Of course that did not apply to me,
though it did when I first signed on and got my original
modem.
The guys in the forum said it worked great for them. So
we'll see. Looks legit to me.
I had never heard of this company either. In case you might
be interested, the return address on the package is :
AT&T Fulfillment
116 E Old Settlers Blvd
Round Rock, TX 78664
Would appreciate your opinion. Thanks
Marion

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. <BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>Marion

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

modem/router</DIV><BR>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi,<BR><BR>For
several years I
have had SBC/AT&T DSL using <BR> the modem that
they<BR>gave
me at that time. (speed stream 5100 B) Now I am
<BR> going to
add<BR>another computer and have been given a 2 wire
1701 HG <BR>
Gateway<BR>modem/router. It needs a new power supply
and I am wondering
if I <BR> can<BR>use the same power supply
that I have been using
with my <BR> present<BR>modem, or are they
not interchangeable. If
not, what would I need <BR> to<BR>get to be
compatible with this 2
wire modem/router?<BR><BR>Thanks for
<BR> your
advice,<BR><BR>Marion <BR>

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