Yes they do,,$79.oo price tag.

Yesterday I purchased a Siemens PCI 10/100 ethernet card. Spent 2 hours troubleshooting that darn card. It would not talk to my DSL modem. What is real bad is my DSL modem is made by the same company. You never know.... Back to Compusa to get a 3com.

I wish someone would tell that to the phone company. That is their number one excuse as to why I get low bandwidth sometimes. (thermal conditions, change in temp., etc etc.)

Mine is just disabled. right click and shut it down, but remember to enable it if you need firewire in the future.

Trip to Best Buy tonight...I noticed they have a signal booster for cable modems. (If you have a extra $50 to lay down) Do not know anything about them.

Stay away from fluorescent lighting and unshielded speakers too.

I think they all are pretty much the same. Everybody out there has their own opinions. You may be able to tweak a little more performance from one of the high end cards, etc. 3com 905c, but you will be paying the high cost. Try to stay with the popular name brands, netgear,linksys, d-link ...

No, this ,model 10-X204, is proprietary equipment made special for Directv DSL. I heard ,rumors, they can be tweaked to work on standard DSL services.

Anybody out there heard of this?

Since my Directv DSL service is gone. Does anyone know what we can use the free Gateways for? Directv said we could use or throw away. Anyway know how to reprogram these to be useful with standard DSL service? Or does paper weight come to minds...

Hello fellow SBC/Yahoo member. I am currently going through the same thing you are. I purchased the extra bandwidth 768 to 1.5 downloads and 256 uploads. My bandwidth down, is anywhere from 264k to 486k but my uploads are always 245k. Sometimes I get 1.2m but the majority of the time its very low ...

Good Luck with your provider. SBC charges us $150.00 for inside wiring.
