I have been on Vonage since 9/04 on a 3M/256 connection.
No problems at all unless Charter cable goes down....rare.
My daughter also has it in her dorm at college. what a money saver.
Would recomend it to anyone.
The one I quoted earlier will work just fine..

This is more economical game adapter, but still "G"

What kind of router are they setting you up with?
This would be much better and more reliable adapter for game.

Getting ready to do the same thing to my XBoX. Be sure to use wireless "G" not wirless "B".
Wireless G is much faster and you get a more reliable signal.
I am looking into replacing my current cable modem and setting up a home wireless network.
I would like some input on this item.

First PC was PTM 1000 286 Turbo 6/10Mhz, had 512K of RAM, and Seagate 40Meg hard drive.
It ran 6Mhz in normal mode and 10Mhz in Turbo mode.
Used DOS 4 operating system and Windows 3.0 was new.
The problem with using IP phone and Dway is not download speed, your upload speed is usualy not enough. I don't know of anyone who has gotten it to work yet.
Something like this would be a good start, you just add the vid card and drives you want.

I agree with Dn0, Newegg.com is a great place to start. You may want to look into something like this barebanes system to use as a starting point.
