PaulCroft Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 4. "RE: ADSL options" 12-14-02, 17:33z  Hi James >My self and Ray P have BT's ADSL (USB) connection. I've gone with Pipex and, initially, chose to use the Alcatel USB they supply. This is the same modem supplied by BT. Initially I couldn't get a connection so I rang Evesham (my PC supplier) and the net result was that I opted to buy an internal PCI modem instead. After one or two minor set-up glitches everything now works very well but I was just wondering, with hindsight, whether this was the best way. Having only just got into ADSL I'm still learning about it and I just wondered whether, perhaps, an ADSL modem/router could be a better option. One of the by-products of the internal installation is that the network card now shares IRQ 11 with the video card and, although I've not noticed any problems yet, I'm not sure that's ideal. I've tried swapping cards round in slots and this is the best configuration I can reach at the moment. At least the ADSL modem has its own IRQ.
