Hi guys,

A friend is getting a DSL line put in via Axxess today.
Her package includes a minimal line rental to Telkom.

She has never had internet before ... always did her daughter's school stuff via her cell phone. She also cannot afford a router at the moment. Axxess has a special here of free installation ... so she jumped at that. Then save for a router.

I have a Netgear 108Mbps Wireless ADSL modem router DG834GT lying in the cupboard. I used this when we had a phone line and ADSL from Telkom.

I said she can have it if it works.

I don't know if there is a difference between ADSL and DSL ?? ( I know DSL = digital subscriber line)

Would this Netgear work for her ?
