[ale] Better ISP?

[John Mills]

Minor suggestion:

Since my modem and router are together (and a few cables run from the 
router to computers and switches around the house), I divided the incoming 
phone line between 'modem' and 'phones' and just put a single filter at 
the split on the 'phone' side. Radio Shack has the filters; they weren't 
expensive when I bought them. Fry's certainly has 'em, and probably the 
"big box" retailers too.
