ADSL Compatable

That depends on how you get your IP address. Do you use PPPoE, PPPoA,
Dynamic, or Static for your IP address?

Answer that & we can help you better.

Also if your broadband ISP is AOL the hardware from Microsoft will not
work as AOL refuses to use the standard TCP/IP stack that Windows
provides, even though the one that Windows has is much better then the
one AOL has.

It can work with a PPPoE connection. the only issue is that most ISP's
using PPPoE will send a PADT that terminates the PPPoE session if you
are not using it. To workaround that issue you will need to use the
maximum idle time & auto reconnect features.
