You dont want that, its only 10mbps, slowwwwwwwwwwwww, and i dont think you can use a dsl line with it, it seems like its only for a regular phone line.
 
First off using a 2 wire phone line for a 10mb network connection may give you less than desired performance. With that said,

It looks like this is using your existing phone line as a 10mb network cable. So my guess would be you plug that into a usb port on a computer that has been configured to access the internet thru your DLS connection. You will probably have to install some sort of network sharing software (hopefully provided).

You need to keep the DSL line plugged into whatever device its presently working on (modem, router, etc). Im guessing you would need another of these devices on the other computer that you want to share the DLS connection with, which would require its own connection to a phone jack as well. So....

Quick run down of the setup. Define PC1 as the pc that is connected to the active, working dsl line. Define PC2 as the computer you want to share the DSL connection.

First make sure you have internet access on PC1, web surfing, email etc. Then plug this usb device into PC1 and also into an active phone jack. Follow whatever directions come with it to set up your network connections.
Plug the second usb device into PC2. Plug the phoneline into a second active phone jack. Install whatever software/device drivers required and tell it the info that it is probably going to ask about from the install on PC1 (ip and gateway address at a minimum) Get on PC2 and hopefully have internet access. I sure hope there are good directions with that device bacause it would be very confusing for someone to install if they dont have the required knowledge of networks. Yes you are going to have to read the directions, probably several times unless this is the unusual setup that they actually make the way things should work.

`IF' this actually works it will be plenty fast enough for even the fastest DSL connection. At most you will see 1.5mbs on a DSL connection, so that leaves you with 8.5mb to spare.
For sharing files over the network, yeah its gonna be a dog but for surfing the net it will work fine. If it works at all Im guessing you will probably end up with a 3mb network, not a 10mb network. But still plenty fast for surfing.

Scott, that i have, is my parents got this new machine, and they have Bellsouth DSL hooked up to it using a 2-wire modem. with the installation kit it came with two of those things (that i posted of a link before). what i think the guy told me, the bellsouth guy, said that all i got to do is get the same line that goes into the 2-wire modem into my room, and plug that phone line into that little box, and then done, the DSL will work on that computer.

now heres ther curve ball, my dad misplaced the directions and the installation CD, so i have to search his office for it.

do you have an AIM name that i can talk to you on? or i could just call you, which ever is easier...

thanks

When you say a 2 wire modem, you mean justa regular phoneline modem right or a network card? Is the phone line with DSL in your room as well? Because if it is you can just plug right into it and go.Does your computer have a network card?
If you want to AIM i am IrvJr27, or you can call me 407 6737887
