[Tfug] remotely access 2wire 2700 dsl modem

[Steven Bowers]

I believe you are looking for the Intel 2100/2200 DSL modem. The 2100 is 
CAP, the 2200 is DMT. I've seen them pop up on craigslist.org 
occasionaly and you could probably find one on eBay. Bookmans would be a 
long shot since they are no longer taking >ANY< PCI cards.
