39816	2002-03-20 01:12:00	Yep, probably with slower speed on than modem than if DSL wasn't there.	Guest (0)

You can also get dual modems that do this, but these are a little pricey and mostly used by business's (such as the Cisco and Alcatel models), where if your DSL is down (which is quite common back here in australia) it will switch to 56k to maintain a connection (although the speed will obviously drop). Hope this helps, Daniel	Guest (0)
