I realize that but my service provider forced this modem upon me.

I agree. Although I had MANY problems with my internet configuration at
first, especially since OSX was new to me it is now less of a problem.
Unfortunately, I can not just get an ethernet modem for reasons I
stated earlier much less get proper macintosh support, hey, we are
dealing with TPSA probably the worst telecom I have had the displeasure
of dealing with. I hope their Polish monopoly will soon crumble. I am
considering an alternative to this ISP.
