Sorry Bahn-Jeaux, I can't tell until I see it for myself on Sunday. I did speak with him this morning though, and it does appear to have an RJ-45 port on the back of it, so following rickity's advice would appear prudent. I appreciate the comment he made about buying a router as opposed to an ADSL modem/router - subtle difference there.
Once the blatantly obvious is pointed out to you, it becomes, well ........ blatantly obvious really!!
