I got GTE DSL (Portlan OR metro area) back in November. Then they came out and put the splitter on the outside of the house and wired one jack for the DSL line. I moved a few weeks ago and found out they do self installs now. They mailed me the stuff mentioned in the last post. Installation was trivial. I don't use GTE's ISP service. The DSL modem self programs when powered on. My ISP DSL-Only (they're great btw) uses fixed IP so I just had to enter the network info (gateway, name server etc, ip, etc...) and I was off and running. I bonus of having self installed DSL is that you can move the DSL modem to any jack in house! Great for LAN parties. Check out http://www.dsl-only.net/ They need a better set of web pages but their service is good.

No unfortunately its a Fujitsu Speedport. Of course if anyone has some interesting info on them I'd love to hear it.
