I looked into it but I just wanted DSL, by the time I hooked up Direct TV it 
just would not be worth the cost.  Verizon is offer no hookup, and 39 bucks a 
month for three months.

They have an external modem now, that connects to an ethernet port.
- From there I should be able to use my box with PPOE to connect to it.  I have 
to read up though on how this is done...  I am hoping Mandrake has an easy 
setup for it, personaly I hate dorking with my box, I would rather spend time 
codeing.

I will check that out.
