|  Do I need a 56K modem? So I use DSL broadband to access the internet. I use the ethernet cable. So my question is...when I buy a new desktop computer, do I need to get a 56K modem? In other words, does the system need a modem for any other reason than accessing the internet? Or if I use broadband, is it just a waste of money? Simple question...Thanks for help. |

| Re: Do I need a 56K modem? Just make sure that the new computer that you buy comes with Onboard LAN ( almost every computer comes with that ). If you want more than 1 computer accessing the internet you will need a router and of course a lan cable thats all. No, there is no need for a 56k modem.

| Re: Do I need a 56K modem? dang i should've put j/k ,it works in my wall plugs if it helps lol. My little brother tried that the other day since this house has rj45 jacks instead of rj11 jacks and we can hook up either cat5e or phone chable into it it makes home networking easy and it's quicker than wireless and great since i no longerhave to run a 200ft cable to get internet downstairs |
