Hi James, I have a D-Link DSL-200 ADSL Modem that connect/power via the USB port. The modem actually comes only with a USB socket and a RJ socket (which you connect to the ADSL/phone line) everything still packed in it's original retail box. I use the DSL-200 to connect to ADSL via Windows XP for my daughter many years ago (she only use M$ OS) she later upgraded to other model and I keep the DSL-200 until now. I haven't test the DSL-200 via Linux as I don't have ADSL connection at my place and my understanding is that you may need the right linux driver for this modem to work. Please contact me off list for the price! Best regards, Victor Mong On 22/11/2014, James Harper <james@ejbdigital.com.au> wrote:
I've replaced my home router with a little laptop, and it's working great.
Does anyone make an ADSL modem that can be run (and powered) via USB? Most have USB ports but I suspect can't use it as a power source. This would allow my internet connection to stay up during the power outages that get more frequent out here once fire season starts.
Thanks
James
