Philip,
Although I am not an expert, I think that USB is great for peripheral
devices like keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner, but not for high speed
internet connection like ADSL. Although your provider might market a
USB modem, I have read on the newsgroups from people who know, it is
MUCH better to go through a network interface card (NIC). You might
email John Navas and ask him why.
