Networking a SpeedStream device

bgunn · 12-17-2002, 11:22 AM

On the same vein as my last post, I have an Efficient Network/SpeedStream 5360 Ethernet ADSL Modem that I would be interested in getting connected to our network... if it is possible. We are up on a DSL line and do have a regular modem line in the network closet to connect to if that serves a purpose.
Anyone have input on this? I have tried a couple different things already but alas no luck. And yes, I tapped the website for a PDF manual (can hardly read it) but that wasn't too much help.
Thanks

I'm not sure what you plan on doing with an ADSL modem, since you already have DSL service. The modem is obviously specific to the telco's equipment. If you connect the ADSL modem, you'll obviously have to have a compatible account.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

I sort of figured that there would be a conflict between a DSL and an ADSL but thought that it might work.... As to what I am trying to do?
I came across this devise after our company purchased another company and so I thought that I would try and put it to good use. We have a network of about a dozen puters and I was hoping that this SpeedStream would allow the network (as a whole) to use one modem for faxing purposes only.
Getting the idea that I might have to give up this project...
