My cablemodem & router are on the desk where I sit.. It is plenty just to see 
the lights, I don't need a modem sound to remind me I'm online. I have enough 
friends around here that are still dialup, if I need a fix, I can go visit. I 
have one friend who is dialup, and I had to go fix his setup recently. Seems 
something new in either AOL software downloads, or Nortons firewall broke, 
and he couldn't dial out anymore. I did a google search and found LOTS of 
people with the same problem, so I switched him to another firewall, and he 
is happy! He is 79 years young, so I doubt he would be interested in 
switching to Linux, at least he does email!
