DSL modem went kaputt: Offline for 2 days!

Whew… after 2 days of troubleshooting, it was determined that my DSL modem was dead.  Kaputt.  So I had to buy one of those DSL modem/wireless router combo crap.

Thankfully, it works ok.  Why can’t they sell them separately?  In certain things like wireless routers, I don’t like to combine everything into one… one thing goes wrong, all is dead.

Anyhow, that was a boring but busy weekend.
