sgolds,
This is off topic, but if you have a choice, dump DSL and get cable. I went through all the nightmares with DSL from the very beginning, from time they Beta tested it more than 4 years ago, until I finally gave up because of endless problems. I got Time Warner cable's RoadRunner, and it just works all the time. As much as I used to hate my cable company, I have to say I am content now.
BTW, good download speed, some 2 Mbs, upload is only 100 or 200 Kbs or so, but that's enough for me.
