High speed DSL Modems ?

I have DSL service from Cavalier formerly Talk America. I have one modem from them. I want another modem so that I can hook up another computer in the house at a different location. Wireless network is not an option. Do I have to get the additional modem from Cavalier for it to work or can I go to any computer store and pick up another modem that will work? Thanks for your response.

Hi Mercury64,

What you would need is'nt a modem, but a router. The cable that runs from the modem to your computer now would go from the modem to the router, and then you would connect a cable (ethernet cat5) from the computer(s) to the new router.

Hope that help some.

Thanks for your response. I understand now that one phone line, one DSL line = one modem and I can't run another modem off same DSL line. I would have liked to have done another modem in a different location of the house rather than running wires from a wired modem for a long distance. Guess I will just have to have the two computers next to each other and go the router modem. Thanks again for taking time to respond.
