The small business I work in uses DSL service from the local phone company, basically because this is what we can afford. DSL is used constantly for claims transmission about 10 hours a day as well a credit card transactions, and a descent amount in web use. The phone company sells Speedstream 4200 modems, a Siemens product which last 8 to 12 months. I keep the modem vacuumed off to prevent dust clogging but it still stays pretty hot. It is used in bridge mode with the gateway router doing PPPoE authentication. Is there any such thing as a business-class DSL modem and if so who makes it?
