im sure the usb ones are going to be better, and for over heating, whats going to be hotter, inside your computer (where lots of hot air is being pushed into atm unless you have watercooler/freezer attached to the back) or in the open air of your office? | |

paulw I think its more of a matter of dual cpus+usb+adsl modem which made things go nutty. I wouldnt bother with a internal PCI one cause they are jsut alot of bother, I'd either go usb or ethernet. | |

you can buy ADSL routers for about £35 with a 4 port hub built in IIRC, look at www.ebuyer.com (nothing to do with ebay) And munch, the backup dialup from BT is pay per minute, so if it ever does go down, remember its not free! | |

yeah some adsl companies they give you a backup dialup account when adsl goes tits up, you will need a normal modem to use it, not the adsl one. | |
