Hi
Jeffrey's answer is correct.
An xDSL connection generally offers somewhat less of 10Mb of
speed !!!
Connecting to the WWW it's not a problem !!
Connected to an network 10/100Mb the faster unit would be better !
Cheers, svobi

Depends on your use. I am just connecting to DSL at 128kb/s so
the 10 mb/s limit doesn't bind. If you were on a VERY fast
internal network it might matter, if you have to move a lot of
big files.

I got my first such card at the MIT Amateur Radio Society Flea
Market
for $5 (no dox).

Good luck
