Thank you very much for the information. That is very helpful.

I want to be able to access the DSL modem both ways. Althought I will be
getting the Linksys router, and using that as a firewall, I need to know
how to access the DSL directly from OS/2.

Can I use In-joy for that? As far as I know, Injoy looks for a dial tone
and then dials a number. If there is a way to use Injoy to talk to the
cable modem, that would make things easy for me.

Can you tell me what to change in TCPIP for each situation: for Injoy and
for Linksys router?

Please let me know if you need more information.

Sincerely,
Sandy
