One wall wart plugs in at an AC plug near an existing telphone jack, and also plugs into the telephone jack. Another wall wart plugs into another AC plug where you want the new phone jack. You then plug the modem/telephone line into that wall wart. Hardwiring a new jack is probably better, but more trouble. I had a Ricochet wireless modem, which was 28.8 and seemed slow at that; now they have 112k wireless, but they want $75/month for the service. You'd have to see if its available in your location, at www.ricochet.net . Tom - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard W.
